Selected Poems of Christina Rossetti

Opis produktu:

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`.
