This timeline tracks key events in the life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, her anti-slavery poetry, and the fight for abolition across the British Empire and the United States. In doing so, it contextualizes EBB and her work within the scope of nineteenth-century sociopolitics and culture, charting historical moments of overlap and divergence between the two.
Margaret Hale in North and South grew up in Helstone, aka New Forest in Southern Hampshire, south of London. New Forest is indeed a magical spot likened to a setting in a Tennyson poem, perhaps English Idylls (1842) with poems including "Audley Court" and "The Gardener's Daughter." Known for its rare birds and ponies, it is now the site of a National Park. (CG)
Here is where Frederick Hale takes refuge.
To avoid court martial in England in Gaskell's North and South (1855), naval officer Frederick Hale takes refuge in Cadiz. He was part in a mutiny against a cruel British naval officer before the novel opens. After staying briefly in South America, he moves to Cadiz, Spain and takes a job with a Mr. Barbour, a British merchant, and he falls in love with his Anglo-Spanish daughter, Dolores. Margaret writes to Frederick without Rev. Hale's knowledge to tell her brother their mother is dying; Frederick returns with great peril to his life.
