'Jan Marsh's book is the best researched and fullest biography of
Rossetti we have yet had.' Fiona MacCarthy, New York Review of
Books 'Although never formally part of the Pre-Raphaelite poetic
school, which included her brother Gabriel, William Morris, and
Algernon Swinburne, Christina Rossetti has always been linked to
it. [Jan Marsh] gives full attention to both the individual and her
unique variety of fantastic and devotional poetry... Marsh
delineates an appealing person while examining her adolescent
nervous breakdown, abortive engagement to a lapsed Catholic
painter, frustrated love for an absentminded scholar, and
relationships with her devout but hearty sister, Maria, and with
her brothers... The author's steady, sympathetic course through
Rossetti's divided life enables readers to delve into the intense
and original self most fully expressed in her poetry.' Kirkus
