Dubbed the greatest long poem of the 19th century, โAurora Leighโ weaves the perfect coming-of-age story for fans of Dev Patelโs 2019 comedy-drama โThe Personal History of David Copperfieldโ. Elizabeth Barret Browning (1806-1861) was an English poet, who wrote during the Victorian era. Following her marriage to the writer Robert Browning, Elizabeth moved to Italy where she lived for the rest of her life. Her poetry such as โThe Cry of the Childrenโ urged child-labour reforms, whilst โA Drama in Exileโ, โA Vision of Poetsโ and โLady Geraldineโs Courtshipโ appeared in her 1844 two-volume โPoemsโ. Browning is remembered today as a rival candidate for poet laureate Tennyson on the death of Wordsworth.
