Synopsis
Applying the methodologies of the new historicism, reception theory, and feminist criticism, Harrison provides striking interpretations of Christina Rossetti's poetry. He examines her work in relation to the traditions of medieval and Renaissance love poetry, Romanticism, Tractarianism, and Aestheticism; establishes her place among the pre-Raphaelites; relates her writing to devotional Victorian poetry; and shows how her secular love poetry reflects Dante and Petrarch.
Originally published in 1988.

Book Description
"Will make a major change in how we read Christina Rossetti."-- Jerome Bump
From Library Journal
Harrison has written a solid piece of literary history, skillfully linking Rossetti's religious and Tractarian commitment to her use of Pre-Raphaelite methods and motifs. He demonstrates that she was a conscious artist who carefully revised her work, discounting W.M. Rossetti's portrayal of her as merely "casual and spontaneous." In making this case, and in discussing her relation to Dantean and Petrarchan traditions, Harrison uses a welter of modish critical terms. Fortunately, they fail to overwhelm his exceptionally well-informed study of a poet firmly rooted in her own era yet anticipating the self-reflexive poetic mode of our own. For academic and large public libraries. Barbara J. Dunlap, City Coll. Lib., CUNY
