The Victorian Age is one of my favorite literary periods. It includes some of my favorite authors such as Charles Dickens, the Bronte sisters, and Thomas Hardy. This week I have really enjoyed reading about Elizabeth Barrett Browning, she is a favorite author of mine along with her husband. I love the history surrounding the Brownings, for example how they met and keeping their relationship a secret.
My group for the website have been discussing and have come up with a theme for our website project; it is husband/wife authors of the English lit. since 1800. My couple is Virginia and Leonard Woolf. I’m excited about researching them, I already know a bit about her life, but there is always more to learn!

Hi - I have just read Lady's Maid by Margaret Forster which is about Elizabeth Barrett Browning, told from the perspective of her maid. It is mainly fact, mixed with a little fiction and I found it extremely interesting persepctive to read from.
