Goblin Market, the Prince's Progress And Other Poems

Large Format for easy reading. A beautiful collection of classic poems from the sister of the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Goblin Market is an important moral and philosophical poem in the guise of a fantasy entertainment for children. The poem deals with the ambiguous nature of the female role in Victorian society and female sexuality and is highly allusive to Biblical imagery (notably the Forbidden Fruit in the Garden of Eden and The Fall).
