Beskrivning

The poetry of Christina Rossetti is often described as 'gothic' and yet this term has rarely been examined in the specific case of Rossetti's work. Based on new readings of the full range of her writings, from 'Goblin Market' to the devotional poems and prose works, this book explores Rossetti's use of Gothic forms and images to consider her as a Gothic writer. Christina Rossetti's Gothic analyses the poet's use of the grotesque and the spectral and the Christian roots and Pre-Raphaelite influences of Rossetti's deployment of Gothic tropes.

Recensioner i media

[Trowbridge] resists the tendency to read Rossetti through a biographical lens, or to reclaim her to a feminist poetics that requires the omission of her devotional works. Instead, gothic becomes a framework for understanding Rossetti's poetry, in the context of her literary influences and Tractarian faith ... [an] insightful monograph. -- Susan Civale Times Literary Supplement This monograph succeeds in offering a genuinely fresh perspective on Christina Rossetti's work, making a persuasive case for viewing her as a Gothic writer ... through a mix of careful close reading and wide-ranging contextual and theoretical research. -- Gregory Tate, University of Surrey The Pre-Raphaelite Society
