Published in 1862, as well as 'Goblin Market' it contains some of her most treasured work, such as 'A Birthday', 'An Apple Gathering' and 'Remember'. It launched her career as the foremost female poet of her time and, more than a century later, modern readers are still seduced by its symbolism and sensual language.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristina Rossetti was born in 1830 in London. She was the youngest child in a creative Italian family, which included her famous brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Their father, a poet and political exile from Italy, fell ill when Rossetti was a teenager and the family suffered financial difficulty. Rossetti started writing at a young age and her poems were often influenced by her religious faith. She published various poems in literary magazines, but it was \u003ci\u003eGoblin Market \u0026amp; Other Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 1862 to great acclaim, that established her position as a prominent poet. She became ill towards the end of her life, first from Graves' disease and then from cancer, but she continued to write until her death in 1894.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 6.29 x 4.09 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 11, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768031772960,"sku":"9781529065381","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1428d689574ce2b89580071ae746879d.webp?v=1780323084","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/goblin-market-and-other-poems-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
