Livres par Christina G. Rossetti

Christina Rossetti, sister of the artist and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was the daughter of an Italian patriot who settled in England in 1824. Born in 1830, she was an accomplished poet whose work was marked by a spirituality and melancholy as well as by technical perfection. She published her first book, Goblin Market and Other Poems, in 1862. More volumes followed over the next two years, and a posthumous collection appeared in 1896, two years after her death. Her range was wide, from fantasy and verse for children to love poems and religious poetry which formed the bulk of her writings.
