Great Regulars: The speaker in Edgar Lee Masters'

"Sarah Brown" Spoon River Anthology is one of the most positive characters of the lot; although it is hinted that she committed adultery, she emphasizes "love" over sex. It was her husband who called her love for Maurice "guilty love," but since her marriage apparently remained intact, it is not clear that she actually experienced a sexual liaison with the grieving Maurice.
