Analyze Robert Browning's poem, "My Last Duchess" using the criteria for "good poetry" set forth by Elizabeth Barrett Browning in AURORA LEIGH. Please point me in the right direction.

Here are two excellent university websites that give directions for reading poetry well and then writing about what you have read. Please read both carefully and apply the ideas.

Your task will not be one that is done quickly. You must go through EBB's poem first and identify the "criteria for 'good poetry'" -- and THEN go through RB's poem and analyze it according to what you discovered in EBB's poem.
