Selected Poems of Christina Rossetti (Wordsworth Poetry Library)

I keep this book beside my chair so I can dip into it occasionally. A beautiful selection of poems which capture so many emotions. Even a novice to poetry would find these meaningful.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed reading the Selected Poems written by Christina Rossetti. An excellent book which is assisting my daughter in her AS English Literature study.

I love Rossetti's imagery. Totally enthralling- no weak victorian woman here- a very astute, strong independent woman. I recommend this to anyone who loves pre-raphaelite art but who also wants to see this art through the eyes of a woman.

Nice calming poems

My favourite poetess can do no wrong .Absolutely love this book ....

Inexpensive copy of CR poems!

The texture and strength of the paper is fragile, perhaps slightly too weak to make notes on. Also there is not a lot of space to write notes on and if you are an A-Level student studying this book I would suggest buying a different text. However if you are just simply passionate about poetry and admire Rossetti's work then by all means invest in this product as the font, size and text is bold and easy to read. Also the poems are evenly spaced between the pages making for a good read.

Ok

Nella descrizione del prodotto vi è scritto pagine n .450.Oggi mi è arrivato il volume contente esattamente 273 pagine. (Quasi la metà!).Alquanto delusa!

Christina Rossetti と言うひと。Dante Gabriel Rossetti の、実の妹ですけれども、作風は、全然、違う。　絢爛たる兄からくらべると、Christina Rossetti は、やさしく読めて、楽しい詩が多い。　やはり、野に咲く、たおやかな花ですよ。　Selected Poems ですが、時間の無い、現代人には、ピッタリでしょう。　もし、千円したらば、買えないが、これは、大学の学食で、ランチを、２回、いただいたと思えば、その位の予算で、一冊、買える。

good

Everything arrived on time and as advertised

The media could not be loaded. This seems to me Rossetti at her best, for reasons I explain in the video. She is quite good at describing the effects of the natural world on her inner life. - Her devotional poems, which constitute the greater part of this volume, unfortunately fall flat as poems if one can't hear the music of the hymns to which many of them have been set.
