Let me count the ways'Elizabeth Barrett Browning was a poet of passion, wit and conscience. She was also a woman who wrote to speak the truth about everything she knew - and she knew just what it was like to be a thinking woman in a society that wanted women to be weak. The eldest of twelve children, she wrote poetry from the age of eleven, and became a highly successful poet in her lifetime - and remains very much loved today.She was also a strong advocate for human rights, campaigning to abolish slavery and child labour, and her three-part poem A Curse for a Nation is a powerful polemic against the slave trade.'I heard an angel speak last night, and he said "write! Write a nation's curse for me, and send it over the western sea" 'Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmAuthor: Elizabeth Barrett BrowningGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Great PoetsItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 120gTopic: Poetry & DramaType: By PeriodRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
