Abstract
The paper explores self-reflection in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Aurora Leigh (1856). It aims at a hermeneutical-phenomenological analysis of select episodes of this epic tale, nuancing autobiography as self-confrontation. The interdependence between gender and genre, child and parent, and past and present are some of the matters that pertain to this research which prompts the possibility of
recognizing self-writing as an overall context for understanding Barrett Browning’s devotion to the theme of responsibility.
Key words: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, reflexive, autobiography, identity, narrative, Other
