Christina Rossetti

More about the book

Regarded as one of the greatest Christian poets in English, Christina Rossetti's work has evolved in its interpretation, moving beyond perceptions of melancholy and repression. Recent scholarship reframes her religious poetry as a compassionate political stance, highlighting its significance not just as nineteenth-century devotional literature, but also as a commentary on modern issues like science, materialism, spirituality, and mysticism. This fresh perspective underscores the enduring relevance of her themes in today's context.
