Among the greatest of English Victorian poets, Christina Rossetti (1830-94) was at the center of a web of fascinating artists. Filled with dozens of color reproductions, this in-depth study traces her major importance in the art of her brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, while she is also shown here as the subject in works by Lewis Carroll, William Holman Hunt, and Ferdinand Knopf. Along with rare biographical information and quotations from Rossetti's poems, this book contains some of the imaginative illustrations she added to books in her own collection.
