Born in 1830, Christina Rossetti began composing verse at the age
of eleven and continued to write for the remaining fifty-three
years of her life. By the time of her death in 1894, Christina had
written more than eleven hundred poems and had published over nine
hundred of them. Publication of Volume III of The Complete Poems of
Christina Rossetti brings to a conclusion the first definitive,
variorum edition of the poems of this greatest woman poet of the
Victorian Age. R.W. Crump divides the final volume, containing the
poems Christina did not include in her published collections of
verse, into three main sections. In the first are those poems
Christina published separately in anthologies, periodicals, or her
own prose works, such as Commonplace, and Other Short Stories. The
second group consists of privately printed poems, including, most
notably, those from the 1847 Verses: Dedicated to Her Mother. The
extant poems that Christina never published make up the third and
by far largest section of Volume III. Crump's voluminous textual
notes and appendixes give the variant readings and provide
additional information on the poems. A special feature of Volume
III is the incorporation of the texts of poems in the hitherto
unknown 375-page Verses manuscript of 1893, a major discovery made
since Volume II was published in 1986. Some of the material in the
appendixes updates the first two volumes in light of this
discovery.
