Christina Georgina Rossetti was born in 1830 in London, England. She was the sister of the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and formed the subject of many of his paintings. Rossetti began writing when she was seven, but was thirty-one before she saw her first publication. During the 1860s and '70s she worked in a refuge for former prostitutes. She was widely regarded as one of the most important women poets of the Victorian era. She died in 1894 and is buried in Highgate Cemetery. Chris Emery was born in Manchester in 1963 and studied painting and printmaking in Leeds. He is Publishing Director of Salt in Cambridge, England.

Precious and Important.,
This review is from: Goblin Market and Other Poems (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
Whether you happen to know the how's and why's of Christana Rossetti's life and time, her poetry, and especially Goblin Market, is truely amazing. Of course knowing her circumstanses only makes the joy and fascination even bigger for a comtemporary reader. The courage and the cost for a woman to be able to write what she wrote can only be imagined. She is the original Girl Power if ever there was such a thing and Goblin Market a legacy of its time.

This review is from: Goblin Market and Other Poems (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
I think Goblin Market was a wonderful book for whatever type of life you happen to live. Each and every poem can be interpereted in so many different ways to pertain to your own life. The poems were not meant to be taken literally word for word, and the religious aspects of the book do not necessarily need to be interpereted just as they are written. It is a book of poems written by a strong woman that was not afraid to show her feelings. I recommend it to anyone that enjoys poetry and has an open and thoughtful mind.

This review is from: Goblin Market and Other Poems (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
I remember reading Goblin Market for class at my university for British Literature. It was one of the best peoms I have ever read in that class. The imagery is fantastic and passionate.When I found out that Goblin Market was published in this book, I was overjoyed. The other peoms were really delightful and really fit in with Goblin Market. Many of the peoms have religious and feminine themes in them, but are simply amazing. It's worth reading at least once.
