product description
The best of Christina Rossetti's poems in a beautiful new gift edition.
About the Author :
Christina Rossetti (1830 - 94) was born into a predominantly Italian family in London.
Her two brothers, Dante Gabriel and Michael, were Pre-Raphaelite painters and poets.
Christina Rossetti is unique among Victorian poets for the sheer range of her subject matter and the variety of her verse forms. Weaving connections between love and death, triumph and loss, heavenly joys and earthly pleasures, Rossetti's poems startle the imagination with their extraordinary truth, beauty, and intensity. While her lyrics and carols remain popular, she also wrote fantasy, mystical and religious poems as well as stories and verses for children.
