  Rates of (Ex)Change: The Goblin Market and Voodoo Accounting by Helen Pilinovsky: Autumn 2005, Journal of Mythic Arts, ...
The first incarnation of the Goblin Market, Christina Rossetti's poem of the same title, is on its surface a tale of two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, who encounter a troop of sinister supra–natural merchants whose wares carry temptation and, potentially, damnation.
The goblins return her penny and storm off after their attack without having gained any advantage over her, allowing Laura to carry the fruits of their rage (or, pulped drippings, as the case may be) back to her sister as an antidote to the original poison, transmogrified by her sacrifice from poison to anodyne.
Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market" is dated to 1859, was first published in 1862, and is thought to have been partially inspired by earlier fairy poems, as the subject gained steadily in popularity throughout the Victorian period.

Rather than saying that "Goblin Market" has a particular theme, I would put forth the notion that it attempts to deal with certain problems Rossetti recognized within the canon of English literature, and specifically with the problem of how to construct a female hero.
In "Goblin Market," Rossetti creates a rudimentary framework of behavior in which a female hero — a heroine — might operate.

A wafer-thin phyllo crust, sandwiches a more than generous dollop of rich chocolate sabayon, iced with fresh raspberries needn't the raspberry coulis, that surrounds and sadly suffocates a potentially lovely dessert.
But all things eaten and consider, the understatedly appealing Goblin Market is more than an acceptable refuge for weary Soho shoppers, or just a neighborhood jaunt for weekend brunch, lunch or dinner.
