Associated with the Pre-Raphaelite circle through her family, she produced a body of work distinguished by its lyrical beauty, spiritual intensity, and subtle exploration of love, faith, memory, and loss. Her poems remain among the most frequently anthologized works of nineteenth-century English literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe illustrator: \u003c\/strong\u003eDante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882), Christina’s brother, was a founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and one of the most influential artists and poets of the nineteenth century.
