Description - Flush: A Biography by Alison Light
Flush is Elizabeth Barrett Browning's charming, foppish pet spaniel. Elizabeth, an invalid, was devoted to her dog who, always at her side, witnessed her meeting, elopement, and early married life with Robert Browning. Flush even accompanies them to Italy where he spends his dotage in happy abandon. Here Woolf weaves together the factual and historical narrative of Elizabeth Barrett's life with the whimsical fiction of Flush's mock biography to create one of her most unusual and endearing books. Alison Light sets this story alongside Woolf's other biographies, Roger Fry and Orlando, and discusses its insights into Woolf's attitudes to servants, especially her fascination with the Brownings' maid, Elizabeth Wilson.
