		Christina Rossetti was the youngest of four children of Gabriele Rossetti, an Italian patriot who came to London in 1824.
		Although some of Christina Rossetti's earliest verse was published in The Germ, a magazine produced for a short time by the Pre-Raphaelites, and she sat as a model for several of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's paintings, she was not a member of the movement.
		This may not be a connection that Rossetti intended, but the description of Laura yielding to temptation and her subsequent illness would have been familiar to such families as the Brontës, whose brother Branwell died of an addiction to drink and drugs, and to Coleridge, who suffered from a lifelong addiction to opium.

	Christina Rossetti and Gerard Manley Hopkins
		Christina Rossetti, on the other hand, through her Verses privately printed in 1847 and her Goblin Market published by the Macmillan's in 1862, was already known to the literary world as a "poetess".
		Christina Rosset's "Convent Threshold" is a kind of love letter, addressed by a woman aspiring for an existence transcending this sinful world to her former earthbound lover.
		I think it reasonable to suppose that Hopkins round about the year in 1864 was in a position to understand sympathetically Christina Rossetti's renunciatory attitudes towards worldly pleasures including love affairs, as "vanity of all vanities", and her concomitant longings for peace and quiet in the world beyond.

	Christina Rossetti
		Rossetti's creative process and the process and symbols of her characters' individuations are what I would like now to concentrate on.
		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.
		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.

	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.

	Dr. Karen Droisen, ENG 435: Christina Rossetti and Dante Gabriel Rossetti
		Christina Rossetti and Dante Gabriel Rossetti were born in London.
		Rossetti spent the last 15 years of her life as a semi-recluse, dedicating herself to writing, study, and spiritual contemplation.
		Since Christina Rossetti never married, critics have tended to read her work autobiographically, identifying her dedication to study and contemplation as a source of sexual frustration that finds expression in her poetry as a fear of bodily pleasure.

		Reclusive, melancholy poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) waged "a lifelong struggle with feminist desires" and attempted to reconcile ambition and autonomy with the Victorian ideal of womanhood, in Marsh's analysis.
		Rossetti, who believed herself descended from Petrarch's Laura (a claim with little if any foundation), campaigned against cruelty to animals, and her volunteer work with prostitutes at Highgate penitentiary inspired her allegorical poem Goblin Market.
		Marsh (The Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood) illuminates Rossetti's sibling rivalry with her flamboyant brother, painter-poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and shows how the despair and paranoia of their invalid father, Gabriele, an embittered Italian exile-poet-librettist-professor, helped trigger Christina's adolescent breakdown, which left her with a lifelong tendency to guilt and self-castigation.

	The Introduction to Almost Paradise
		Many of Rossetti’s unpublished poems match the quality of her published poems and their dates often coincide with the more famous published ones but it is not possible to see them side by side in the Penguin Classics edition because they are at different ends of the book.
		If Rossetti’s longer poems and sonnet sequences were markedly superior to, or more important than, her shorter poems and lyrics, then use of such categories might serve some critical purpose beyond mere standard practice, but this is certainly not the case.
		Christina Rossetti is not only the greatest English woman poet of the 19th century, she is also one of the greatest lyric poets in the whole canon of English verse.

	The Foreword
		When I wrote my biography of Rossetti, I set myself the question ‘Who was the real Christina Rossetti?’ and had to admit that at the end, the question still remained essentially unanswered.
		Moreover, there is a degree of repetition, especially in some of the religious poems, which she wrote in large numbers, partly out of a sense of duty to her Church.
		This volume should serve to make Christina Rossetti’s poetry accessible to a new generation of readers, while those who are already lovers of her work will find many different facets of it, and perhaps some surprises, in this volume.

		English poet, was the youngest of the four children of Gabriele Rossetti.
		In 1853-54 Christina Rossetti for nearly a year helped her mother to keep a day-school at Frome-Selwood, in Somerset.
		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.

	A little about Christina Rossetti
		Victorian poet Christina Rossetti (1830-94), born into a highly literary and artistic family, was the sister of painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-82).
		She never married but came close twice and these experiences, together with her strong faith, frequently tested, and her battles with ill health, informed and fed her creative powers.
		‘Your instinct [Christina] was so sure, so direct, so intense that it produced poems that sing like music in one’s ears - like a melody by Mozart or an air by Gluck … A firm hand pruned your lines; a sharp ear tested their music.
