Early in 1862, Christinna Rossetti publishes Goblin Market and Other Poems. Periodicals start writing about her collection of poems soon after it comes out. The Atheneaum's review was published on April 26th, and the Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science, and Art publishes their review of her volume on May 24th. The reviews being so soon after Rossetti's publication help modern readers get an idea of what readers during Rossetti's time period might have thought about the poem.
