Gilbert & Gubar - Goblin Market
‘The bond between Laura and Lizzie…represents not just a sisterhood of sacrifice, but a potential model for female solidarity against patriarchal forces.'
Andrew Stewart - Maude Clare
‘Hegemonic’ (dominant) definitions of Victorian femininity.’
Gaynell Galt - No Thank You, John
‘To reject a marriage proposal seemed counter to the Victorian mentality.’
Anthony H. Harrison - Twice
‘Powerlessness of women in a rigid patriarchal society.’
Anthony H. Harrison - A Birthday
‘The only true and permanent fulfilment of love is to be found in the art it gives birth to.’ (love is fleeting, but the emotion provides permanent fulfilment.)
Lars Wallner - Shut Out
‘Religious ideals are here in conflict with the character’s inner desires.’ (the desire for personal happiness is rejected by the ‘shadowless spirit.’)
Dolores Rosenblum - From The Antique
‘In a patriarchal culture, woman inevitably experience herself as object and other.’
Stephen Halliday - Up-Hill
‘Rossetti frames the poem as a question-and-answer conversation.’
Maurice Bowra - Remember
‘There is a deep basis of experience, of misery in a defeat which has been hard for Christina to endure.’
Frances Thompson - Echo
‘It is conceivably possible that Christina heard of this, and the resonating memories of that time ‘long ago, my love, how long ago!’ came back to her.’
Judith Plotz (Power)
‘Rossetti’s women are often trapped in roles defined by gendered expectations, yet they demonstrate a subtle form of resistance, whether through silence, withdrawl or defiance.’
George Landow (Power)
‘Rossetti’s poetry critiques the unequal power dynamics of her time, framing women’s suffering as a consequence of and a reaction to the patriarchal structures they inhabit.’
Suzanne Williams (Fallen Women)
‘Her fallen women do not necessarily have to die to be redeemed and are often given a voice with which to speak back against their ruination.’
Dinah Roe (Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood)
‘Though its goals were and heartfelt…the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood was founded in a spirit of waggish male camaraderie.’ (playful, mischevious)
Simeon Avery (Religion)
‘Rossetti depicts the disastrous consequences of being attached to worldly pleasures rather than remembering the importance of spiritual devotion.’
