Christina Rossetti is maybe the most gifted poet of the Victorian (editor's own opinion), but she's often overlooked. Born to an Italian political refugee and poet, drama and romance were her birthright. Her brother was the founding Pre-Raphaelite painter and opium fiend, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. She had heartaches of her own too: a crippling depression, Graves disease, poverty and only her fervent religiosity to palliate. Although her poetry has been criticized for being too sermony, her devotional works flirt with illicit sexuality, female agency, and the temptations of the material world.

Our cover for this collection is the same that her brother painted for its original publication. I think it's quite fetching.
