I am not very good at appreciating poetry, which is why I was so shocked to discover that I really liked this book. Then I realized that Aurora Leigh is a Victorian Novel in blank verse, so of course I would love it. Passions, drama, noble heroes redefining the meaning of the gentleman, the unending struggle with being a woman and a person.
Yep, Aurora Leigh is Jane Eyre in verse. And it was awesome!
