Synopsis

This luxurious hardcover edition combines two classic collections of poetry by Christina Rossetti: Goblin Market and Other Poems and Shorter Poems. Centered around the ever-popular title fable, the work also includes such popular gems as "The Hour of the Ghost," "My Dream," "Mirage," "Twilight Calm," and 34 other wondrous meditations on love and loss, death and remembrance, and nature and spirituality. Sixteen full-color paintings and scores of line drawings by Florence Harrison, a well-known illustrator of poetry anthologies, are rendered in the entrancing Pre-Raphaelite style associated with Rossetti and her circle.

About this title

About the Author:

British poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) is associated with the Pre-Raphaelites, a circle of artists and writers led by her brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. After decades of neglect, her work was rediscovered in the 1970s and hailed for its proto-feminist qualities.
Illustrator Florence Susan Harrison (1877-1955) is chiefly associated with the Scottish firm of Blackie & Son, Ltd., for whom she illustrated many volumes of poetry, including the works of Tennyson and Morris.
