The mystery of Life, the mystery Of Death, I see Darkly as in a glass... Christina Rossetti (1830-94) is perhaps the most contradictory of the great Victorian poets. She writes of the worlds 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 Rossettis strongest and most distinctive work: poetry (including Goblin Market, The Princes 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 Rossettis poetry and prose in one volume, and is an indispensable introduction to this entrancing writer.
