The Family Letters Of Christina Georgina Rossetti

Bonded Leather binding

Excerpt from The Family Letters of Christina Georgina Rossetti: With Some Supplementary Letters and Appendices Are the letters, taken as a whole, interesting or uninteresting? Do they relate to important or to unimportant matters? Of this I must leave the reader to judge. My own view is that Christina Rossetti, by her work in poetry and authorship, made herself interest ing to a great number of persons 3 and that anything which tends to show forth her genuine self, her personality and tone of mind and feeling, cannot therefore be totally insignificant. Nothing could evince these more perfectly than her family-letters do. I am certain that I here set before readers a beautiful and lovable character 3 and, as this is the character of a person widely cherished for her writings.
