Through theologically-engaged close readings of her poetry and
devotional prose, this book explores how Christina Rossetti draws
on the Bible and encourages her Victorian readers to respond to its
radical message of grace. Structured chronologically, each chapter
investigates her participation in the formation of Tractarian
theology and details how her interpretative strategies changed over
the course of her lifetime. Revealing how her encounter with the
biblical text is informed by devotional classics, Christina
Rossetti and the Bible highlights the influence of Thomas a'
Kempis, John Bunyan, George Herbert and John Donne and describes
how Rossetti adapted the teaching of the Ancient and Patristic
Fathers and medieval mystics. It also considers the interfaces that
are established between her devotional poems and the anthology and
periodical pieces alongside which they were published throughout
the second half of the nineteenth-century.
