빅토리아 시대 가장 위대한 여성 시인, 엘리자베스 배럿 브라우닝의 빛과 그림자

Born into a wealthy British family in 1806, Elizabeth Barrett was a child prodigy who taught herself Greek and Latin from an early age. However, an illness that struck her at fifteen and the death of her beloved older brother confined her to her room for many years. As she spent her youth cut off from the world, a letter arrived from Robert Browning, an unknown poet six years her junior. The love she chose defying her father's opposition, the life she reclaimed in Italy, and the single word she left behind in her final moments. The Forest of Wisdom quietly tells the story of a poet whose life, intertwined with loss and gain like a ball of yarn.
