Description: The Culture of Christina Rossetti offers a radical rethinking of Rossetti's place in the Victorian world of art, literature, and ideas. Examining her poetry, fiction, and nonfiction from a variety of theoretical perspectives, these essays solicit a new understanding of Rossetti as an artist actively engaged in Victorian developments in aesthetics, theology, science, economics, and politics.
