Description
Tras la muerte de sus padres, la joven Aurora Leigh se traslada desde su hogar de adopción, Florencia, a Inglaterra, donde será tutelada por una tía rígida y severa que pretende casarla con su primo Romney, destinado a heredar el patrimonio familiar. En una escena reivindicativa y protofeminista, Aurora rechaza a su pretendiente y proclama su decisión de entregarse a la poesía. Años después, Aurora se reencuentra con su primo, que está a punto de casarse con Marian, una joven de vida trágica e incierto futuro. Lady Waldemar, una noble rica, también pretende a Romney y urde una maliciosa trama que desatará una espiral de pasión y cambiará el destino de los protagonistas. La ética y la política, la teoría literaria, el primer feminismo reivindicativo y decimonónico, las tramas victorianas y dickensianas, y el exotismo florentino se dan cita en esta prodigiosa novela de Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Escrita en 1856, Aurora Leigh es una notabilísima novela en verso que reúne el interés de una trama exquisitamente medida con la belleza de la expresión poética, además de una gran variedad de ambientes: desde los círculos de la alta sociedad hasta los bajos fondos. El lector dispone por primera vez en español de una novela-poema que Virginia Woolf consideraba en plano de igualdad con los mejores logros de Jane Austen, George Eliot y las hermanas Brönte.
