Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress, and Other Poems
Christina Georgina Rossetti · 0
Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress, and Other Poems is Rossetti’s 1862 debut: a tightly wrought collection arguing that desire must be disciplined, salvation is bodily, and sisterhood is liturgical. It works best in Goblin Market’s sensory allegory and falters in The Prince’s Progress’s inert symbolism. Read it for its theology-in-action—not its ideas about society or self.
