In this lecture, Dr Ross Wilson (University of Cambridge) explores the critical reception of Christina Rossetti, both in her own lifetime and in the 20th and 21st centuries. In particular, we look at the critical appraisal of Sir Walter Raleigh (the Oxford professor, not the Elizabethan courtier), Virginia Woolf, Edmund Gosse, and Stuart Curran.

This lecture is part of a larger course on the poetry of Christina Rossetti. The full course can be found here: [ Ссылка ]
