Elizabeth Browning – författare

I denna bok presenterar poeten Lis Lovén sexton brittiska, kvinn­liga författare från Margaret Cavendish på 1600-talet till Jane Austen, systrarna Brontë, Ann Radcliffe, Beatrix Potter, Virginia Woolf med mera… Många är främst kända som romanförfattare. De har haft stor betydelse inom brittisk litteratur. För första gången är ett urval av deras lyriska verk samlat i denna antologi med brittiska kvinnliga poeter.

Aurora Leigh (1856), Elizabeth Barrett Browning's epic novel in blank verse, tells the story of the making of a woman poet, exploring 'the woman question', art and its relation to politics and social oppression. The texts in this selection are based in the main on the earliest printed versions of the poems. What Edgar Allan Poe called 'her wild and magnificent genius' is abundantly in evidence. In addition to Aurora Leigh, this volume contains poetry from the several volumes of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's published poetry from 1826 to 1862, including Casa Guidi Windows (1851), Songs for the Ragged Schools of London (1854) and the British Library manuscript text of the 'Sonnets from the Portuguese' (1846) which records her courtship with Robert Browning.

A novel in blank verse by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, published in 1857. The first-person narrative, which comprises some 11,000 lines, tells of the heroine''s childhood and youth in Italy and England, her self-education in her father''s hidden library, and her successful pursuit of a literary career. Initially resisting a marriage proposal by the philanthropist Romney Leigh, Aurora later surrenders her independence and weds her faithful suitor, whose own idealism has also since been tempered by experience. Aurora''s career, Romney''s social theories, and a melodramatic subplot concerning forced prostitution elicit the author''s vivid observations on the importance of poetry, the individual''s responsibility to society, and the victimization of women.

What if the prison you've been trying to escape…is the one you built yourself?Prisoner of Your Mind is a raw and reflective exploration of the unseen patterns that shape our lives.Not through theory.Not through diagnosis.But through lived experience.For years, the author repeated the same stories—about pain, loss, mistakes, and survival—without realising those very stories were quietly rebuilding the walls of an invisible prison.This short but powerful book explores:• How protective stories become lifelong cages• Why we repeat destructive patterns without seeing them• The moment responsibility stops being punishment and becomes power• How forgiveness begins dismantling the walls we built to surviveThis is not a step-by-step program.It is a mirror.And if something inside these pages feels uncomfortable…or strangely familiar…you may already be closer to the door than you think.
