Christina Rossetti was considered the ideal female poet of her time. Her poetry was devotional, moral, and spoke of frustrated affection.

Dolores Rosenblum presents a fresh reading of Rossetti’s works and places them in the context of her life. Rosenblum shows that what was ostensibly devotional, moral, and loveless, was actually what Luce Irigaray calls mimetism,” a subtle parody and subversion of the male tradition of literature.

Only with the coming of feminist criticism can Rossetti be meaningfully re-evaluated. Rosenblum calls Rossetti’s works the poetry of endurance,” stating that it is similar, and at times identical, to the female sentimental” tradition in literature. Rossetti endured the constraints of the Victorian female artistic spirit by becoming a watcher.” Within this self-accepted role, Rossetti was able to carefully and deliberately choose artistic self-protection. In her religious poetry, Rossetti transcended, by aesthetic renunciation, the alienation and immobilization forced upon her.

Rossetti’s poetry is full of paradox; it sings about silence, exposes the poet’s oblivion. From the repining Victorian poet, there emerged a stone woman.” Rosenblum discusses this passively enduring female figure’s alienation from knowledge and power, and how the myth of self strengthened the lyric voice within her. Because she was a woman, she was denied the male use of the lyric I.”

Rossetti’s work is unified, Rosenblum argues, because she was a deliberate poet, and by accepting the burden of womanhood,” she played out what men only symbolized as female in their art. By her mimicry and revision of the male tradition of literature, Christina Rossetti engaged the patriarchal tradition in ways that make it usable for the female experience, and that provide a critique of male objectification of women in art.

82. The Owl and the Rossettis: Letters of Charles A. Howell and Dante Gabriel, Christina, and William Michael Rossetti by Clarence Lee Cline

Editorial Review Product Description This correspondence between the leading art agent of the mid-Victorian period, known as 'The Owl,' and the family of his chief client, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, may be the most complete record of the artist-agent relationship. The letters also provide much new information about a leading artist-poet, the Pre-Raphaelite circle, and the leading London artists and writers beyond that circle, from Madox Brown to Swinburne.The then new role of artist's agent was defined in many respects by Charles Augustus Howell, flamboyant yet cultivated son of an English artist-wine merchant and an aristocratic Portuguese lady. Starting as an international man of mystery with some involvement in railways, Howell emerged in 1866 as Ruskin's secretary with a sideline as art salesman and interior decorator. During the 1870's he became the friend and business associate not only of D.G. Rossetti but also of Whistler, G.F. Watts, and Burne-Jones, Sandys, and other principal artists. His consummate salesmanship was most evident in the case of Rossetti, who refused to exhibit his works or even allow them to be seen unless the viewer was a certain buyer.Dubbed 'Owl' by Burne-Jones, Howell was described by Whistler as 'the wonderful man, the genius, the superb liar, the Gil-Blas, Robinson-Crusoe hero out of his proper time, the creature of top-boots and plumes.' The letters from the Rossettis to Howell are published here for the first time, having been sold by Howell's estate to a family that subsequently sold them to the University of Texas. The whole correspondence--together with Professor Cline's introduction, notes, and index-- 'alters all existing catalogues and bibliographies and critical studies of D.G. Rossetti,' says Stanley Weintraub, author of Whistler and Four Rossettis. ... Read more

Editorial Review Product Description This study closely examines poems by both well and lesser-known poets as representatives of women in the 19th century. The book asserts that women, in both Romantic and Victorian poems, tend to seek pleasure as their remedy for physical as well as mental pain in their caged environment. The discussion includes William Blake, Sara Coleridge, Lady Caroline Lamb, Maria Logan, and Christina Rossetti along with many others. Several critical methods such as Freudian analysis and Foucauldian interpretation are applied in the attempt to throw light on women's culture in 19th-century Britain. ... Read more
