Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806– 1861) was an English poet of the Victorian era who garnered significant renown in both Britain and the United States. Browning began writing poetry from the age of eleven and her early work, kept safe by her mother, constitutes one of the largest collections of juvenilia in existence. Her poetry collection “Poems” (1844) brought her popular acclaim, as well the attention of Robert Browning. Fearing her father's disapproval, the two corresponded and eventually in secret. Browning had a significant influence on many writers of her day, including Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allan Poe. Other notable works by this writer include: "How Do I Love Thee?" (1845) and “Aurora Leigh” (1856). Ragged Hand is proud to be publishing this brand new collection of classic poetry now complete with illustrations by Archibald Thorburn and an excerpt by John Burroughs.

This edited collection explores our often-surprising modes of co-inhabiting the cultural and aerial worlds of birds. It focuses on our encounters with non-captive birds and the cultural geographies of feathered flight. This book offers a timely contribution to the more-than-human geographies of flight, space and territory. The chapters support an ethics of attention as a new basis for the conservation and cultivation of aerial habitats. Contributions adopt an interdisciplinary approach to the patterns of intrusion and escape that shape our encounters with birds and unsettle our traditionally terrestrial concepts of space. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of our shared lives with birds, ranging from scientific observation to the social media-enabled spectacle of co-habitation and spatial competition. Written in a thought-provoking style, this book seeks to address a dearth of critical perspectives on the cultural geographies of flight and its implications for the ways in which we understand common spaces around and above us in the context of any effort at conservation.

Excerpt from The Poems of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Vol. 2 of 3 As earth was once, - first breathed among the stars, Articulate glory from the mouth divine, To which the myriad spheres thrilled audihl y Touched like a lute-string, - and the sons of God Said amen, singing it. I know that this Is earth not new created but new cursed This, Eden's gate not opened but built up With a final cloud of sunset. Do I dream? Alas, not so! This is the Eden lost 13y Lucifer the serpent! This the sword (this sword alive with justice and with fire!) That smote upon the forehead, Lucifer The angel! Wherefore, angel, go depart Enough is sinned and suffered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
