About this book
A shadow rises from a moonlit river to question a woman about the people she loves. That unsettling scene opens this second volume of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s collected poetry, where storytelling verse gives private feelings a visible, sometimes supernatural shape. In “The Romaunt of Margret,” the repeated name and recurring challenges make affection sound increasingly fragile. “Isobel’s Child” begins with a mother taking over the watch beside her feverish baby.
The selection also includes “Lady Geraldine’s Courtship,” presented as a poet’s letter to a friend from a room at Wycombe Hall. His love for an earl’s daughter exposes the distance between inherited wealth and his own peasant origins.
