Discover the English writer of romantic poems, Christina Rossetti's extensive
collection with this comprehensive anthology. Spanning ‘The Prince’s
Progress’, following the story of a princess awaiting the return of her prince
and ‘The Goblin Market’, the tale of Laura and Lizzie tempted with fruit by
goblin merchants, Rossetti's delicate and swift prose is crafted to charm
adults and children alike. Dealing with themes of female sexuality, patience
and religion, Rossetti's ‘Poems’ are the perfect companion for fans of the
Radio 4 podcast ‘In our Time’. Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) was an English
writer of romantic, religious and children’s poems. Celebrated today as an
inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s writings, Rossetti's work spans themes of
female sexuality with ‘The Goblin Market’ and issues of self-indulgence,
devotion and patience with ‘The Prince’s Progress’. She volunteered at St Mary
Magdalene house of charity in Highgate, a refuge for ex-prostitutes, and
openly opposed slavery in the United States during the years of the American
Civil War. Rossetti remains a prominent female poet, associated with Elizabeth
Barret Browning as her predecessor.
