About Christina Rossetti

Christina Rossetti was born in 1830 in London. She was the youngest child in a creative Italian family which included her famous brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Their father a poet and political exile from Italy fell ill when Rossetti was a teenager and the family suffered financial difficulty. Rossetti started writing at a young age and her poems were often influenced by her religious faith. She published various poems in literary magazines but it was Goblin Market & Other Poems published in 1862 to great acclaim that established her position as a prominent poet. She became ill towards the end of her life first from Graves disease and then from cancer but she continued to write until her death in 1894.
