Relation Toward Books Goblin Market and Other Poems

An 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. This 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."

There's no button for "I respect it, but it ain't my cup o' tea..."

It was just beautiful. Even if some poems are overtly religious, I loved this collection so much. Already can't wait to reread it!

We must not look at goblin men,We must not buy their fruits:Who knows upon what soil they fedTheir hungry thirsty roots?

These are such amazing poems! I don't know why Rossetti isn't more known!

This volume includes poems from four collections spanning over thirty years (1862, 1866, 1875, and 1896); however, in my opinion, the ones from the earliest, which bears the title of this Dover book, are by far the best. Verses from the later ones are less interestinghowever, others may find them much more communicative. The poets fine reputation indicates this to be true.

My review: https://theblankgarden.com/2019/10/28...

It was nice to reread and realise how wildly I misunderstood it the first time I read it.(I wonder if a few years later I'll reread it again and say the same thing? :) )
