Anomalous Ownership: Copyright, Coverture, and Aurora Leigh

http://vp.engl.wvu.edu/Summer98/hoeckley.htm

This analysis of "Aurora Leigh" concludes that "Despite her efforts to versify herage, Barrett Browning tangles the web as she weaves together the disparate threads of literary property, activism, and harmonious domesticity to make room in herage for a peacefully married, professional woman writer."
