We collect here five poems about slavery that Elizabeth Barrett Browning (hereafter EBB) wrote over her career: her little-known juvenilia, “The African” (early 1820s), “The Appeal” (1833), “The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim’s Point” (1848), “Hiram Powers’ Greek Slave” (1850), and “A Curse for a Nation” (1856). Each of these has been annotated with the goal of facilitating discussions in the undergraduate and graduate classroom.
