Emma Mason: Christina
Rossetti - Poetry,
Ecology, Faith
Emma Mason presents a new
study of Christina Rossetti,
focusing on her spirituality and
connection with the natural
world. A committed supporter
of animal welfare, and a keen
observer of the diversity of
creation, Rossetti considered it her
Christian duty to maintain it in a
state of equilibrium and equality.
Drawing on poetry, diaries, letters
and devotional commentaries, the
author offers a fresh narrative of
the life and work of Rossetti.
