Publisher's Synopsis
Unmarried, Christina Rossetti always lived at home. She had a sister, Maria Francesca, and two brothers - William Michael and the flamboyant Dante Gabriel - who founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. But despite a rich and loving family life, Christina's disappointment in romance created in her a sense of deprivation that typifies some of her greatest work. Marnie Pomeroy examines the work of the foremost poet of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
