Goblin Market: a Tale of Two Sisters
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Chronicle Books
- Publish date: 10/01/1997
Description:
A deliciously dark rhyming fairy tale, Goblin Market tells the story of two beautiful, virginal sisters seduced by lewd goblin men serving up luscious but ruinous fruits. Christina Rossetti's first major work, the poem was published in 1862 to critical acclaim. Embraced today for its provocative imagery and timeless theme of forbidden pleasures, the poem has become a literary classic. This special edition includes the enchanting paintings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the author's eldest brother and leader of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and illustrations by William Morris, whose beautiful wife, Jane Burdon Morris, was Dante Gabriel's lover and model. A fascinating afterword by acclaimed author Joyce Carol Oates places this haunting work of repressed Victorian eroticism in its literary, artistic, and social context.
