Description
Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861) and Christina Rossetti
(1830–1894) were both regarded as the female poet laureates of their
time, and between them their writings spanned almost the entire
Victorian age, from the end of Romanticism to the beginnings of
Modernism.
This selection of their shorter works contains all the
major themes that animated the two poets – social
justice, faith, love, and mortality – and some of the
best-loved poetry in English, including In the Bleak
Midwinter and How Do I Love Thee?.
