Description Supposing Books Selected Poems

Christina Rossetti is widely regarded as the most considerable woman poet in England before the twentieth century. No reading of nineteenth century poetry can be complete without attention to this prolific and popular poet. Rossetti's inner life dominates her poetry, exploring loss and unattainable hope. Her divine poems have a freshness and toughness of thought, while many of her love poems are erotic, and as often express love for women as for men. The varied threads of Rossetti's concerns are drawn together in what is perhaps her greatest poem, the strange and ambiguous Goblin Market.

The most poems from Rossetti are beyond good, I love to read her poems, they are clam and beautiful.

No, Thank You, JohnBY CHRISTINA ROSSETTII never said I loved you, John: Why will you tease me, day by day,And wax a weariness to think upon With always "do" and "pray"?You know I never loved you, John; No fault of mine made me your toast:Why will you haunt me with a face as wan As shows an hour-old ghost?I dare say Meg or Moll would take Pity upon you, if you'd ask:And pray don't remain single for my sake Who can't perform that task.I have no heart?Perhaps I have not; But then you're mad to take

I studied a few of Rossetti's poems in one of my university classes, and had meant to get around to reading the rest for a while. I'm not that interested in devotional poetry but since hers is important to understand who she was and what informed the rest of her writing, I persevered and read this cover to cover. Needless to say, my favourite poems in the collection were not the religious ones; I particularly enjoyed the poems with nature themes and her children's book poems were really fun.

who knows not love begetteth love?i went into this with a truckload of doubt for i know her themes are religious and i am not, but i have come to adore her style! this was an absolute pleasure to read - there were pieces that made me pause and stare off into the distance for dear life.it seemed to mean so little, meant so much;if only now i could recall that touch, first touch of hand in hand - did one but know!favorites: 'a birthday,' 'in the lane,' 'twilight calm,' 'echo,' 'at home,' 'what

I really loved these poems. Varied styles, not terribly complex, but evocative and moving nonetheless.

I'm not the biggest poetry fan. I'm not a religious person. These things mean that Rossetti and I don't have all that much in common, but I think she is an excellent poet. Her themes deal a lot with religion and with sin and temptation. She focuses a lot on the roles and expectations of women. My favorites from this collection are:- Remember. A poem about wanting loved ones to remember you when you die but to also be happy and live without you. - In an Artist's Studio. A poem that I think

A wonderful collection of Rossetti's poetry arranged in a small, attractive format. I enjoyed dipping into her poems from day to day. She is a superb poet with a clear sense of playfulness in her language and drama in her poems.
