A diversity of expressions of negation reveals the poet’s dialectical frame of mind which fermented between The Seraphim (1838) and Aurora Leigh (1856). Additionally, denial, perceived as self-doubt, invites a specific recognition of Barrett Browning’s poetical dedications in terms of the human experience that her writing exhibits through narrative.enElizabeth Barrett Browningdenialself-perceptionOthernarrativeArticle
