"Buy, buy," shouted the goblins.
Who were running down the path.
"Oh," cried Lizzie. "Laura, Laura,
Don't look at the elves."
Christina Rossetti
Mystical, melancholic, and visionary, Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894) was the author of a major body of work during the Victorian era. On the occasion of her centenary, Virginia Woolf will pay tribute to her in the essay, the translation of which we provide in the preface to this volume: I am Christina Rossetti .
The Elf Market ( The Goblin Market ), a poem composed in April 1859 and published in the eponymous collection in 1862, brought Rossetti fame and was the subject of various interpretations. Patrick Reumaux, who signed the translation, gives us his own in his postface.
The esoteric and magical watercolors of Baron Casimiro Piccolo that adorn the poem are echoed in the postface by the Pre-Raphaelite portraits of the protagonists painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Christina's brother.
