‘Love, my child, love, love!- (then he had done with grief)
‘Love, my child.’ Ere I answered he was gone, And none was left to live in all the world.
Because unmotjhered babes, he thought, had need Of Mother Nature more than others use.’

A verse novel is a hard sell but oh my word I LOVED this. A Charlotte Bronte plot with Elizabeth Gaskell interests told as a prolonged, interior, confessional reflection reminiscent of Augustine, wrestling with modernity, social reform, vocation, men and women's work, and love and ending - with a nod to Dante - at daybreak in Italy before a vision of the New Jerusalem. Love my girl EBB.

somehow this poem manages to be intensely interior and very wide-ranging at the same time!

Why hello St. John Rivers - I mean Romney Leigh! Remarkably strong Jane Eyre parallels here in Book II. Now I'm trying to think of other Victorian heroines who make a conscious choice AGAINST the zealous social reformer and commit to less tangible service - love or poetry. Gaskell's North and South presents an interesting variation on this pattern.

The Victorian novel nobody ever thinks about because it's written in verse!

Marion Erle! I was ready to dislike you but your story is so tragic.

Book 1 and 2 read. ONWARD Book 3.
This is a crazy ride. The language is all elegance and passion but the plot is just nonsensical. The dead aunt clasping the unopened letter in her cold hand...hmmm. And then are we supposed to admire Aurora for saying no to a thirty thousand pound safety net? What Agnes Grey would have given for this - and there are no questions of the money being dirty.
