Flush

Flush: A Biography. As the name suggests, the leading character of the novel is a dog called Flush.

However, he is a dog with strong background. His master is a legendary woman in the history of British literature.

The author indirectly describes Elizabeth Barrett, a famous female British poet in Victorian Era with concise and humorous writing style by virtue of the biography of the dog: her character, extraordinary love between her and the poet Browning, their elopement after secret marriage and their happy marriage in Italy, the country of sunshine.

Moreover, the author also reflects the class contradictions at that time, feminist thought of the author and other content from the perspective of the dog, which adds impressive depth of thought to this essay-like work.
