Ford Madox Ford, who had a subtle ear for the understated excellence of the nineteenth century writers, called her "the most valuable poet that the Victorian age produced." Her modern admirers are many, especially among the poets. Philip Larkin speaks of her poetry as "unequalled for its objective expression of happiness denied and a certain unfamiliar steely stoicism." This book provides Christina Rossetti's poetry in a simple volume, and includes an informative introduction to help identify the proper context in which to read her work.
