Birth of Dante Gabriel Rossetti Albumen print of Dante Gabriel Rossetti (7 October 1863) On 12 May 1828, Dante Gabriel Rossetti was born as Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti. His parents were Gabriele Pasquale Giuseppe Rossetti, an Italian émigré scholar, and Frances Mary Lavinia Polidori (the sister of John William Polidori). Rossetti would go on to form the influential literary and artistic group, The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Image: Portrait of Dante Gabriel Rossetti: albumen print.

Pre-Raphaelites Movement File:Millais - Ophelia.jpg The Pre-Raphaelites brotherhood began in 1848 with a group of Victorian artists and poets who wanted to revolutionize British art. It was started by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Homehand, and John Everett Millais. Their objective was to make art more real by imitating the natural world, rather than it being conventional. When creating art, the pre-Raphaelites would use bright colors and make the art very detailed in nature. For them, art and literature go hand in hand. This brotherhood was very influential in Christina Rossetti’s life due to her brothers being members. She even participated in a few of their paintings and works. One of the biggest ways we see the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites in “Goblin Market” is the attention to detail. The descriptions of the fruit and animals mentioned are very bright and intricate. This influence has helped the readers to become immersed in the world of the Goblin market. This picture I have selected is Ophelia done by John Everett Millais in 1851 to 1852. This work shows the Pre-Raphaelites attention to nature and detail.

Publication of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Ballads and Sonnets Binding of Ballads and Sonnets (1881) On 16 September 1881, Dante Gabriel Rossetti published Ballads and Sonnets (London: Ellis and White, 1881) along with a new edition of his Poems. Originally Rossetti intended to publish only one book of his works in 1881, a revised and augmented edition of his 1870 Poems. (On the 1870 volume, see Elizabeth Helsinger, “Lyric Poetry and the Event of Poems, 1870.″) In working over his materials, however, Rossetti soon realized that he had more poems than could be accommodated to a single volume, so he devised the scheme that eventuated in the publication of Ballads and Sonnets and its companion, A New Edition (so identified on the title page) of Poems. Ballads and Sonnets included an expanded set of poems with the title, "The House of Life," now prefaced with an "Introductory Sonnet" with the first line, "A Sonnet is a moment's monument."

In a letter to her brother William dated 26 July 1882, Christina Rossetti reported that their mother, Frances, had loaned “her cherished Main’s Sonnet book, giving him leave to have the ‘Sonnet’ drawing engraved for his book” (Letters of Christina Rossetti vol 3, p. 52). |
