Aurora Leigh (Excerpts) Comments

CONGRATULATIONS for the family of the late Poetess EBB (Victorian Era) to be chosen by Poem Hunter and Team as The Modern Poem Of The Day. Amazing!

TOP Marks and more. EBB was in her lifetime very famous in the USA and in Europe.I regard her as a very talented poetess.

My comments for Book Two will be as long or longer than my first comment, so I come to my final response: A loveliest way of telling her story for this woman living in the Victorian Age. Bravo EBB!

FOUR: She read many of Shakespeare's famous works and fell in love with his writing style, and aspired to be a great writer like him one day in her life

THREE: Her aunt tried to educate her in what she considered a ladylike manner, but Aurora discovered her father's old library and read scholarly books on her own.

TWO: He was a scholar and imparted to her knowledge of Greek and Latin and a love of learning. Her father died when she was thirteen, and she was sent to England to live with his sister, her aunt, in Leigh Hall, her family's ancestral home.

ONE: This is an EPIC Poem. Book One goes about: Aurora describes her childhood in Florence, growing up as the daughter of a Tuscan mother and an English father. Her mother died when she was four, leaving her father to raise her.

Very good poem...Could read alot more of this, Love is bliss..

Works and writings from a genius and creative Poet GREAT

Marrying Poet Robert Browning, Elizabeth perhaps has lost her individual appeal in the world of poetry!

Shakespares and his Mates must have accosted or Wooed her when Miss Eliza was then a handmaid

A close mild mouth. Great work!

Is this a Poem or Prose? It bores me.Too lengthy.Mama Eliza
