| biography:
| Poet, born in London, UK, the daughter of Gabriele Rossetti. A devout Anglican, and influenced by the Oxford Movement, she wrote mainly religious poetry, such as Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862). By the 1880s, recurrent bouts of illness had made her an invalid, but she continued to write, later works including A Pageant and Other Poems (1881) and The Face of the Deep (1892). Her work displays the influence of the Pre-Raphaelite artistic movement, which her brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, helped to found. |
