Christina Georgina Rossetti, a celebrated female poet, is one of the exceptional women writers of the Victorian Era. Her works speak of her relentless ambition to carry through and satisfy her potential to render “ perfected poetic artifacts”. As so, she directed her works towards purity, “ that which is true and right.”

These she expressed in her poems, often dealing with her existence originating from a particular conflict which was never easily resolved by the female poet.

She took her poetry seriously as expressed in her letter to a fellow writer William Edmonston Aytoun. In her letter, she claims, "I hope that I shall not be misunderstood as guilty of egotism or foolish vanity, when I say that my love for what is good in the works of others teaches one that there is something above the despicable in mine; that poetry is with me, not a mechanism, but an impulse and a reality; and that I know my aims in writing to be pure, and directed to that which is true and right." (Quoted by Sandars, Christina Rossetti, 85; original letter in the Yale University Library Special Collections).

Her collection of poems give voice in Victorian poetry which themes lingering in the exaltation of the senses and emotions. She was part of the Pre-Raphaelite Brothers which was a movement composed of English painters, poets, and critics. The main goal of the brotherhood, which Christina Rossetti belonged to , was to improve art by culling the mechanistic approach. Such line of thought flowed in the poems of Rossetti, rediscovering her artistic sensibilities producing new and fresh themes for her works.

Her attention turned to writing at a young age and continued to do so until her health gave up on her. Her first published work was Goblin Market and Other Poems in 1862 garnering praises even to the appointment of next female poet to Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Christina Rossetti was born in London and came from a family of artists, sibling to Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Micheal Rossetti, and Maria Francesca Rossetti. His father was a poet, who became physically and mentally ill pushing Christina to be educated at home by her mother. All her life, she has lived with her mother but even so, she continued in her quest for self- expression as a woman poet.

Her first verses materialized in 1842 subsequently printed and published in the private press of her grandfather. As a member of the Pre-Raphalite Brotherhood, she contributed seven poems to its periodical. Her works were deeply influenced by her religious temperament that even her works for her first published compilations specifically the Goblin Market was perceived as an allegory on salvation.

The perennial battle of Grave's disease had made Rossetti disabled restricting her to the confines of her home. During this period, her social life became curtailed however never becoming an obstacle for to write. She died the following year, 1894 of December and was buried in Highgate cemetery.

Her death did not end her life although her popularity wane at the spurt of Modernism. Nonetheless, her works to date are considered by scholars as masterpiece which shouted artistry through her words.
