Aurora Leigh

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

(4.6 étoiles; 5 critiques)

Aurora Leigh is a talented young poet determined to pursue her literary ambitions rather than conform to society's expectations. She shuns marriage to navigate her own path in life. This adaptation, dramatized from Browning's epic poem by Michael Symmons Roberts, brings to life the struggles and triumphs of a female writer balancing work and love.

The story unfolds through the first-person narration of Aurora, alongside the experiences of Marian Erle, an abused self-taught child of itinerant parents. Set in Florence, Malvern, London, and Paris, this verse-novel reflects Browning's own experiences and the challenges faced by women in her time.
