What is Browning about?
Elizabeth Barret Browning wrote a letter to Napoleon III to persuade him to pardon Victor Hugo for his novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She utilized rhetorical strategies such as minimizing herself as a woman to uplift Napoleon, pleading with emotional language, and questioning how Napoleon would be remembered in history if he did not pardon Hugo. Browning strategically shifted her tone from pleading to empowering while building up Napoleon
