di Christina Georgina Rossetti (Autore)

Christina Georgina Rossetti's book, 'Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress, and Other Poems', is a collection of poetic works that explores themes of sisterhood, temptation, and redemption. Rossetti's poetic style is characterized by vivid imagery, intricate symbolism, and lyrical language that captivates the reader's imagination. The collection's literary context reflects the Victorian era's fascination with morality and the supernatural, making it a significant contribution to British poetry of the 19th century. 'Goblin Market', the centerpiece of the book, is a haunting narrative poem that follows two sisters' encounter with goblin merchants and their struggle against forbidden desires. Rossetti's complex exploration of female identity and sexuality is both timeless and groundbreaking. As a devout Christian and a prominent member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Rossetti's personal beliefs and experiences undoubtedly influenced her poetic work. Her unique perspective on gender, faith, and social norms adds depth and authenticity to 'Goblin Market' and other poems in the collection. I highly recommend 'Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress, and Other Poems' to readers interested in Victorian poetry, feminist literature, and the intersection of spirituality and art.
