Elizabeth Barrett Browning: Sonnets from the Portuguese. HELP! (1 Viewer)

[xRvGx iNo Scope]

Hey all !
Does anyone have any information on what the Elizabeth Barrett Browning's (EBB) sonnets were about and how was the structure and ideology of people during the Victorian era - 1840's (I think). Was love different back then compared to the modern/present day love?
If you have any information on EBB, please share.

Thanks heaps !

If you look at EBB's idea of love and that of which is portrayed in The Great Gatsby, you'll get a good idea at how it contrasts to contemporary love.

great gatsby. research the jazz age. uh...

the thing with the victorian era was that they were all really repressed. sexuality wasn't exactly encouraged.
