The Brownings then left for Pisa. (When Barrett died in 1856, Elizabeth Barrett Browning was still unforgiven.) While in Pisa she wrote “The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point” (Boston, 1848; London, 1849), a protest against slavery in the United States. The couple then settled in Florence, where their only child, Robert Wiedemann Barrett, was born in 1849. In 1851 and in 1855 the couple visited London; during the second visit, Elizabeth Barrett Browning completed her most ambitious work, Aurora Leigh (1857), a long blank-verse poem telling the complicated and melodramatic love story of a young girl and a misguided philanthropist. This work did not impress most critics, though it was a huge popular success. |
