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. Rossetti'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. Формат: 12,5 см х 19,5 см.

"Ты была скромна и вместе с тем решительна, ты не сомневалась ни в своём даре, ни в правильности своего видения. Твёрдой рукой ты правила рисунок своих стихов, придирчивым ухом вслушивалась в их музыку. Ничто несовершенное, лишнее или неуместное не портило впечатления от твоей работы. Словом, ты была художником. И потому, даже когда ты бряцала колокольчиками просто так, чтобы отвлечься, тебя навещала пламенная гостья, благодаря которой слова в стихотворных строчках плавились, становясь единым целым, так что выудить их оттуда не сумела бы ничья рука" – писала о знаменитой английской поэтессе Вирджиния Вулф.

My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickest fruit.

From the sensuous, deliciously scary, and popular Goblin Market to the delicate and musicalSing-Song, Christina Rossetti's verses feature earthy, almost tactile images. As the sole woman among the Pre-Raphaelites, her work has a unique feminine perspective. Among the selections by Jan Marsh, author of an acclaimed biography of Christina and her brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, are At Home, Confluents, Maude Clare, andSongs for Strangers and Pilgrims.

These Everyman's Library Pocket Poets hardcover editions are popular for their compact size and reasonable price which do not compromise content. Poems: Rossetti contains a full selection of Rossetti's work, including her lyric poems, dramatic and narrative poems, rhymes and riddles, sonnet sequences, prayers and meditations, and an index of first lines.

Christina Rossetti (1830-94) is perhaps the most contradictory of the great Victorian poets. She writes of the world's beauty, but fears that it may be deceptive, even deadly. She is a religious poet, but much of her work is driven by uncertainty. Her poems are restrained, even secretive, but they seek nothing less than the mystery of Life and Death.

This edition contains Rossetti's strongest and most distinctive work: poetry (including 'Goblin Market', 'The Prince's Progress', and the sonnet sequence 'Monna Innominata'), stories (including the complete text of Maude), devotional prose (with nearly fifty entries from the 'reading diary' Times Flies), and personal letters. Those poems which Rossetti published, and those which she withheld from publication, are here brought together in chronological order, allowing the reader to observe her poetic trajectory. This edition also records the major revisions made by Rossetti when preparing her poems for publication. It brings together the fullest range of Rossetti's poetry and prose in one volume, and is an indispensable introduction to this entrancing writer.
