Discover the English writer of romantic poems, Christina Rossetti's extensive collection with this comprehensive anthology. Spanning ‘The Prince’s Progress’, following the story of a princess awaiting the return of her prince and ‘The Goblin Market’, the tale of Laura and Lizzie tempted with fruit by goblin merchants, Rossetti's delicate and swift prose is crafted to charm adults and children alike. Dealing with themes of female sexuality, patience and religion, Rossetti's ‘Poems’ are the perfect companion for fans of the Radio 4 podcast ‘In our Time’. Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) was an English writer of romantic, religious and children’s poems. Celebrated today as an inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s writings, Rossetti's work spans themes of female sexuality with ‘The Goblin Market’ and issues of self-indulgence, devotion and patience with ‘The Prince’s Progress’. She volunteered at St Mary Magdalene house of charity in Highgate, a refuge for ex-prostitutes, and openly opposed slavery in the United States during the years of the American Civil War. Rossetti remains a prominent female poet, associated with Elizabeth Barret Browning as her predecessor.
