Goblin Market and Other Poems - Christina Rossetti

Descriere Goblin Market and Other Poems - Christina Rossetti

\n \nAn important and often-quoted literary figure, the English poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) wrote some of the most beautiful and voluptuous poetry in the English language. Like Emily Dickinson, she lived in self-imposed isolation, writing of God and lost love with a sensuality and passion that seemed to emanate from the soul. \nThis edition of 53 works combines a number of her best-known sonnets, ballads, and shorter lyrics with her long masterpiece, the narrative fable Goblin Market. A haunting fairy tale in verse, Goblin Market was once labeled a children's poem, yet its intricate symbolism and themes of temptation, sin, and redemption mark it for an adult audience. Among other works included in this choice collection are The Convent Threshold, Up-hill, Cousin Kate, Winter: My Secret, Maude Clare, No, Thank You, John, and After Death. \n\n \n\n
