Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830 bis 1894) entstammte einer in London lebenden italienischen Emigrantenfamilie. Als Naturlyrikerin wie auch mit ihrer Liebeslyrik hat sie sich tief in das kulturelle Gedächtnis der anglophonen Welt eingeschrieben. Christina Rossetti hat uns mit manchen ihrer Sonette wahre Meisterstücke der viktorianischen Lyrik hinterlassen, die auch heute noch zu beglücken und zu erstaunen vermögen. Der vorliegende Band vereint alle 55 Sonette aus Christina Georgina Rossettis später Gedichtsammlung "A Pageant and Other Poems" von 1881, einer Sammlung, die Gedichte aus verschiedenen Schaffensphasen der Dichterin zusammenbringt und mit ihren beiden großen Sonett-Zyklen, "Monna Innominata" und "Later Life", aber auch mit manchem Einzelsonett Hauptwerke der Viktorianischen Lyrik bietet.

Rossetti besaß einen starken moralischen Sinn, der sowohl ihr Schreiben als auch ihr persönliches Leben prägte. Ihr Stil zeichnet sich durch seine melodische Qualität und lebendige Bildsprache aus, die den Leser in eine Welt innerer Konflikte und hoffnungsvoller Auflösung zieht.

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," " My Secret," "Maude Clare," "No, Thank You, John," and "After Death."
