- Title
"Half-Poets" and "Whole Democrats": The Politics of Poetic Aggregation in Aurora Leigh.
- Authors
Huseby, Amy Kahrmann
- Abstract
The article discusses the verse novel "Aurora Leigh," by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Particular focus is given to how the poem focuses on aggression, political or otherwise. Additional topics discussed include Barrett Browning's intention for the poem to offer "an amount of spiritual truth," how "Aurora Leigh" seeks to ask whether women and the poor must always be regarded as partial citizens, and how the women in the novel depict many "halves," rather than a whole person.
