Extract

So compelling has been Robert Browning's voice in the literary canon that it has almost drowned out the Other voice of Elizabeth Barrett Barrett. One of the most impressive pleas to reevaluate the influence between this formidable and formidably married couple came from Flavia Alaya, who documented the mutuality of their political opinions and their shared fascination with the rescue theme. More recently, responding to the feminist wave of reevaluations of all poetic relations, of silences as well as voices, U. C. Knoepflmacher and Nina Auerbach presented some ways we might read the two poets in tandem, considering the manner in which one appropriated the other, for example, or the way their stories created a difference.
