- Title
Percy Shelley, James Russell Lowell, and the Promethean Aesthetics of EBB's "The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point".
- Authors
Harrison, Antony H.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the aesthetics of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point." It mentions that is primarily the prosodic elements of the poem, in combination with its allusive strategies references to Christian iconography, to Percy Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound," and, implicitly, to James Russell Lowell's monologue, "Prometheus" that serve to represent its speaker as unequivocally heroic and ultimately to define her as a redemptive Promethean figure.
