Christina G. Rossetti (1830-94) was among the finest poets writing in English in the Victorian era, whose work remains popular with both general readers and scholars. It ranges from simple-seeming love lyrics and carols like "In the bleak mid-winter" through dramatic fantasy poems like "Goblin Market" to devotional and mystical meditations on the human and divine. Her work displays a teasing sense of humour and a Gothic imagination as well as a strong moral sense. Born in to a largely Italian family in London, she was sister to two members of the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and posed for some of their early paintings. In her own right she worked at the London Penitentiary for Fallen Women, retraining young prostitutes for a respectable way of life. She published four volumes of poetry, two books for children and a collection of sparkling stories.
