The Works of Christina Rossetti
The Works of Christina Rossetti | Christina Georgina Rossetti
22 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
With an Introduction and Notes by Katherine McGowran. Christina Rossetti is widely regarded as the most considerable woman poet in England before the twentieth century. No reading of nineteenth century poetry can be complete without attention to this prolific and popular poet. Rosetti's inner life dominates her poetry, exploring loss and unattainable hope. Her divine poems have a freshness and toughness of thought, while many of her love poems are erotic, and as often express love for women as for men. The varied threads of Rossetti's concerns are drawn together in what is perhaps her greatest poem, the strange and ambiguous 'Goblin Market'.

While we were listening to this song, my son pointed out( unbeknownst to me)that the lyrics are from Christina Rossetti‘s poem, A Christmas Carol, which was in my son‘s book, The Complete Poems. 🎄⛪️

Pickpick

This poem came to my mind today for no apparent reason. Probably the best known of Rossetti's oeuvre and a favourite of mine. Some of her work is a little maudlin ... it's pretty safe to say Christina probably wasn't the most fun at the party. Her life was kinda tragic but her poetry is very much worth exploring.

BiblioLitten This brought back memories of college. Love it😊💜 7y
