Goblin Market, Prince’s Progress & Other Poems

(Macmillan, 1875)

The Levetus siblings built upon the legacy of an earlier brother and sister collaboration – the Rossettis.  ‘Goblin Market’ is Christina Rossetti’s best known poem.  When it was first published in 1862, it was considered a children’s moral tale, but modern audiences are often struck by its sexual violence and homoerotic undertones.
