Flush (Abridged)

Flush belonged to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and followed its mistress from her confinement in her father's house in Wimpole Street to Italy, where she eloped with her lover and fellow poet Robert Browning. As she tells Flush's story, Woolf also tells the story of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning's romance, and of her progress from an invalid to a woman at the peek of her powers.
