description: Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning is best known as a member of the family at Wirepole Street, fewer know of her roots in Ledbury, in the border country of Wales, where she spent the first twenty-six years of her life. Her childhood and the environs in which she spent it, shaped Barrett Browning's imagination, and it was in this period she became a poet. Barbara Dennis' new introduction to Barrett Browning focuses on the early, Border years, a period largely neglected by other biographers despite its obvious and significant influence on her. Includes valuable new material drawn from little-mentioned diaries and notebooks, to make a substantial addition to our understanding of this major writer.
