	Christina Georgina Rossetti Collection \| Special Collections \| Bryn Mawr College Library
		Born on December 5, 1830, the English poet Christina Rossetti was the youngest child of Gabriele Rossetti and sister to both Dante Gabriel Rossetti, well known poet, painter and founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and William Michael Rossetti, English art critic, literary editor, and man of letters.
		Christina was a devout Christian, sustained throughout her life by her religious faith, especially during the difficult times following her father's death in 1854 and the onset of a prolonged illness in 1871.
		In 1871, Christina was stricken with the thyroid disorder Graves' disease, marring her appearance, leaving her an invalid, and causing her to live the last fifteen years of her life as a recluse in her home.

		In spite of her manifest limitations of sympathy and experience, Christina Rossetti takes rank among the foremost poets of her time.
		In the purity and solidity of her finest lyrics, the glow and music in which she robes her moods of melancholy reverie, her extraordinary mixture of austerity with sweetness and of sanctity of tone with sensuousness of color, Christina Rossetti, in her best pieces, may challenge comparison with the most admirable of our poets.

	Christina Georgina Rossetti
		CHRISTINA Georgina Rossetti, that daughter of the Tractarian Movement who, as a devotional poet, 'has not her equal in the English language,' says Sir Edmund Gosse in his History of English Literature, was born on December 5, 1830, at 38, Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square, the youngest of a family of four gifted children.
		One of Christina's spiritual advisers was, it is interesting to recall, Dr. Littledale, whose keen sense of humour and cheerful outlook on life must have exercised a wholesome influence on Christina, prone at times as she was, owing to a low physical vitality, to take a somewhat morbid outlook on life.
		Rossetti in her sorrowful anxiety for her elder son, the tragedy of whose story--unnecessary to dwell upon here--is intensified by the thought of his splendid gifts: a mystic without a creed, 'a Catholic without the discipline or consolation of the Church,' thus we may describe Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

	Christina Rossetti
		Given the known facts of Christina Rossetti's life, one is tempted to class her as an artist who sacrificed "happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being." We know that twice she gave up marriage for religious reasons.
		Rossetti also refused to be caught up in the "fashionable seances" attended by her brothers, Dante Gabriel and William Michael, in 1864 (Packer 212).
		William Rossetti has attested to the fact that Plato was among Christina's favorite authors: "she read his Dialogues over and over again" (PW lxx); yet the idea that she would consciously depict lesbian love as a means to wholeness and redemption is of course out of the question.

		Born in London, England, in 1830, Christina Georgina Rossetti (pseudonym Ellen Alleyne) is known across the world as one of the most famous poets of the Victorian Age.
		I was attracted to Rossetti's attention on her lost youth and struggles with unfulfilled love and her expression of these problems through poetry, which mostly deals with nature in one way or another.
		Rossetti's poetry centralizes on these themes of lost youth and unfulfilled love because of the past memories, failed relationships, and crippling tragedies in her life.
