Synopsis:

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Mrs. E. B. Browning, Vol. 4: Aurora Leigh, a Poem in Nine Books; Book I to Book IV

But my chief intention just now is the writing of a sort of novel-poem, a poem as completely modern as Geraldine's Courtship,' running into the midst of our conventions, and rushing into drawing - rooms and the like, 'where angels fear to tread and so, meeting face to face and without mask the Humanity of the age, and speaking the truth as I conceive of it: out plainly. That is my intention. It is not mature enough yet to be called a plan. I am waiting for a. Story, and I won't take one, because I want to make one, and I like to make my own stories, because then: I can take liberties with them in the treatment.
