About the Authors
Christina
Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) was one of the most important
English women poets, in both range and quality. She was the youngest in an
extraordinarily gifted family: her eldest brother Dante Gabriel founded the
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and was a foremost poet and painter of the era; her
other brother William became a prolific art and literary critic, editor, and
memoirist; and her sister Maria went on to be a Dante scholar, respected
Italian translator, author, and nun.
Rossetti wrote a variety of romantic, devotional, and
children’s poetry throughout her life and is most famous for her poem Goblin Market. Religious devotion came to play a major role in her life and much of her work
is spiritual in nature. She never married.
Elinor Morton Wylie (1885–1928)
was an American poet and novelist.
