| | Christina Rossetti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Christina Georgina Rossetti (December 5, 1830 – December 29, 1894) was an English poet and the sister of artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti as well as William Michael Rossetti and Maria Francesca Rossetti. | | | The collection garnered much critical praise, and according to Jan Marsh, "Elizabeth Barrett Browning's death two months later led to Rossetti being hailed as her natural successor as 'female laureate'." The title poem from this book is Rossetti's best known work. | | | Some readers have noted its likeness to Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner" given both poems' religious themes of temptation and sin, and of redemption by vicarious suffering. |

| | Christina Georgina Rossetti |
| | Rossetti in her sorrowful anxiety for her elder son, the tragedy of whose story--unnecessary to dwell upon here--is intensified by the thought of his splendid gifts: a mystic without a creed, 'a Catholic without the discipline or consolation of the Church,' thus we may describe Dante Gabriel Rossetti. | | | CHRISTINA Georgina Rossetti, that daughter of the Tractarian Movement who, as a devotional poet, 'has not her equal in the English language,' says Sir Edmund Gosse in his History of English Literature, was born on December 5, 1830, at 38, Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square, the youngest of a family of four gifted children. | | | Lover of nature, too, as Christina was, one whose heart, as has been said, 'was with the birds and fruits, cornfields and farmyard sounds,' yet at the same time those months she spent among the garden orchards and woodlands of Somersetshire were among, perhaps, the most unhappy of her life. |

| | Christina Rossetti lived in an era of renewed popular interest in myth, romance, legend, and fairy tales. | | | Rossetti also refused to be caught up in the "fashionable seances" attended by her brothers, Dante Gabriel and William Michael, in 1864 (Packer 212). | | | William Rossetti has attested to the fact that Plato was among Christina's favorite authors: "she read his Dialogues over and over again" (PW lxx); yet the idea that she would consciously depict lesbian love as a means to wholeness and redemption is of course out of the question. |

| | In “Goblin Market,” Rossetti navigates a complex dream-world of sin and desire, demons, gluttony, dissipation, self-restraint, and ultimately redemption. | | | Christina Georgina Rossetti was born in London in 1830, the youngest child of a remarkable family of poets, artists, and critics. | | | One of her most ambitious and intriguing works is “Goblin Market,” a stunning, vivid, occasionally even surreal epic of sisterly devotion. |
