I remember loving Aurora Leigh when I read it in college, though I don't remember anything about the romance tbh -- just being really struck by some of the bits about Aurora's own inner life and her feelings about reading and writing and the argument about throwing oneself into creating art vs. throwing oneself into effecting change in the world in other ways.

I have put some thought into how one would do a film adaptation of The Masqueraders and I do think such an adaptation ought to feature a trans Robin actor in one way or another but it would be equally valid to have Robin played by someone who's transf (begins masquerading and Discovers things about herself), transm (a trans man who is fine going girlmode for a bit for the purposes of disguise but is starting to get really tired of it by the end of the book), or nonbinary/genderfluid (just going to keep swapping back and forth between Miss Merriot and the Dashing Hero until the end of time).
