Christina Rossetti (1830-94) is regarded as one of the greatest Christian poets to write in English. While Rossetti has firmly secured her place in the canon, her religious poetry was for a long time either overlooked or considered evidence of a melancholic disposition burdened by faith. Recent scholarship has redressed reductive readings of Christian theology as repressive by rethinking it as a form of compassionate politics. This shift has enabled new readings of Rossetti’s work, not simply as a body of significant nineteenth-century devotional literature, but also as a marker of religion’s relevance to modern concerns through its reflections on science and materialism, as well as spirituality and mysticism.
