The EBB Archive
Scholarship since the 1970s has re-established Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) as one of the most internationally influential 19th-Century English authors. Her poems, essays and extensive correspondence entered into debates on poetics, aesthetics, religion and politics, including issues such as factory reform, women’s rights, the anti-slavery movement, Italian liberation, and the peace and free trade movement.
