Goblin Market, The Prince’s Progress, and Other Poems

Credits: Christina Georgina Rossetti (author)

Summary

Christina Rossetti's two volumes of 1862 and 1866 give the title poem, in which the sisters Laura and Lizzie meet the goblin merchants whose fruit is a poison, and The Prince's Progress. A long shelf of lyrics on love, loss and faith follows, among them Up-Hill and A Birthday. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
