Even the evidence for the swiftness of her wit, thought and\u003cbr\u003ecomposition remains more impressionistic and anecdotal than firmly proven.\u003cbr\u003eThrough close attention to original manuscript material, Josie Billington\u003cbr\u003eargues that Barrett Browning's fast, fine and excitedly vigorous and agile\u003cbr\u003eimaginative intelligence is Shakespearean, both in its power, and in the\u003cbr\u003ecreative drive and dynamic to which it gives rise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBillington contends that for Barrett Browning, as\u003cbr\u003efor Shakespeare, writing was demonstrably a creative event not a second-order\u003cbr\u003erecord of experience, and that Barrett Browning's characteristic habits of\u003cbr\u003ecomposition, and her creative procedure, resemble in significant ways those of\u003cbr\u003ethe poet she valued most highly.
