Christina Rossetti

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The writing of this book has given me peculiar pleasure. But far greater than the pleasure Of its com position has been that of considering the various aspects Of Christina Rossetti's work, and Of contemplating her character as revealed therein. Perhaps my study may serve to some readers as an introduction to the writings Of Christina Rossetti both as a poet and as a prose writer. Remembering this I have for the most part relinquished the functions Of a critic and assumed the easier functions Of an exponent.
