Description: With original readings of poems from each stage of Barrett Browning's career, Cooper demonstrates how the poet realized a mature poetic voice as a woman. Her early ballads and sonnets are derivative of a male voice, yet, Cooper argues, they demonstrate the beginnings of a subversive text.
