Author Description

"Christina Rossetti, one of the best known and loved of Victorian poets, is finally emerging from comparative critical obscurity due to a late-twentieth-century rediscovery of women writers and a renewed interest in Victorian culture. However, although Rossetti's poetry is readily available, her prose works remain largely ignored. Selected Prose of Christina Rossetti is the first book to address this deficiency by making accessible selections from reliable texts illustrative of her prose in its three modes: fiction, nonfiction, and devotional."--BOOK JACKET.
