Elizabeth Barrett (1806-1861) was one of the most prolific and accomplished poets of the Victorian age, an inspiration to Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, and countless others. And yet, her life was full of cloistered misery, as her father insisted that she should never marry. And then, the clouds lifted, and a letter arrived. It was from the poet Robert Browning (1812-1889), admiring her from afar, declaring his love. How did these two poets find each other? What kind of life did they share afterwards? And what dark secrets had led to her father's restrictions…and how might that have affected his daughter's poetry? Host Jacke Wilson takes a look at the story of the Brownings.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: 2 SAMUEL 15:13-14, 23-26 Plano De Leitura Anual: 1 SAMUEL 25–26; LUCAS 12:32-59  Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  Christina Rossetti, poetisa e autora de textos devocionais, descobriu que nada lhe vinha facilmente. Ela sofreu de depressão e várias outras doenças ao longo da vida e suportou três noivados rompidos. Mais tarde, morreu de câncer. Davi surgiu como um guerreiro triunfante na consciência nacional de Israel. No entanto, ao longo de sua vida, ele enfrentou dificuldades. No fim de seu reinado, seu próprio filho, o seu conselheiro de confiança e grande parte do país, voltou-se contra ele (2 SAMUEL 15:1-12). Nessa condição, Davi levou os sacerdotes Abiatar e Zadoque e a arca sagrada de Deus com ele e fugiu de Jerusalém (vv.14,24). Depois que Abiatar ofereceu sacrifícios a Deus, Davi disse aos sacerdotes: “Leve a arca de Deus de volta para a cidade. Se for da vontade do Senhor, ele me trará de volta para ver novamente a arca e o santuário” (v.25). Apesar da incerteza, Davi disse: “se ele não se agradar mais de mim, que faça comigo o que lhe parecer melhor” (v.26). Ele sabia que podia confiar em Deus. Christina Rossetti também confiava em Deus, e sua vida terminou em esperança. A estrada pode realmente acabar morro acima, mas leva ao nosso Pai celestial, que espera por nós de braços abertos.  Por: TIM GUSTAFSON

In his new book, Nathan K. Hensley describes a mood or a vibe or an intuitive response to the contemporary moment when one feels powerless in the face of collapsing societal systems. Given the entrenched nature of the present crisis, with compulsory happiness being marketed by the culture industry, how does one work within systems from which no true escape is possible? In order to uncover a prehistory of this feeling, he goes back to the nineteenth century - to artists like J.M.W. Turner and writers like Emily Bronte and Christina Rossetti who were thinking about what it means to inhabit a world omnivorously captured by capital. Nathan K. Hensley is the author of Forms of Empire: The Poetics of Victorian Sovereignty (Oxford, 2016), and co-editor, with Philip Steer, of Ecological Form: System and Aesthetics in the Age of Empire (Fordham, 2018). With Devin Garofalo, he is currently coediting a collection of essays that's forthcoming from Northwestern UP, The Barbara Johnson Collective. His new book is Action without Hope: Victorian Literature after Climate Collapse, forthcoming from Chicago UP in April 2025. He was born in Fresno, California and lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.

We'll introduce you to trailblazers like Julia Margaret Cameron, Christina Rossetti, Evelyn De Morgan, Elizabeth Siddal, Marie Spartali Stillman, and Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, whose influence on the movement and beyond is undeniable. Though often overshadowed by their male counterparts, these women were the true powerhouses behind the Pre-Raphaelite vision, shaping the art world in ways the "bros" could never have done alone.

‘Goblin Market' was the title poem of Christina Rossetti's first collection, published in 1862, and while she disclaimed any allegorical purpose in it, modern readers have found it hard to resist political interpretations. The poem's most obvious preoccupation seems to be the Victorian notion of the ‘fallen woman'. When she wrote it Rossetti was working at the St Mary Magdalene house of charity in Highgate, a refuge for sex workers and women who had had non-marital sex. Anxieties around ‘fallen women' were explored by many writers of the day, but Rossetti's treatment is striking both for the rich intensity of its physical descriptions and the unusual vision of redemption it offers, in which the standard Christian imperatives are rethought in sisterly terms. Seamus and Mark discuss how post-Freudian readers might read those descriptions and what the poem says about the place of the ‘market' in Victorian society.Read the poem here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44996/goblin-marketThis episode features a full reading of 'Goblin Market' by Shirley Henderson and Felicity Jones at the Josephine Hart Poetry Hour.

Experience the allure of the goblin merchants and the unwavering bond between sisters Laura and Lizzie, as their story unfolds in a lyrical and hauntingly beautiful verse. Listen closely as the mesmerising words transport you to a mystical realm where danger and redemption coexist in a delicate balance. Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market" was first published in 1862 in her collection titled *Goblin Market and Other Poems*. The poem, praised for its rich and vivid imagery, quickly established Rossetti as a significant voice in Victorian poetry. Her work was published by Macmillan and Co., and it has since been celebrated for its innovative style and profound themes. "Goblin Market" explores themes of temptation, redemption, and the power of sisterly love. The poem delves into the moral and social implications of indulgence and self-sacrifice, presenting a complex interplay between innocence and corruption. Upon its release, the poem received critical acclaim for its originality and depth.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! VII Esta noche, nos adentramos en un tema fascinante y enigmático: el mundo de los dobles y la bilocación. Fenómenos que han cautivado la imaginación humana durante siglos, desafiando nuestra comprensión de la realidad y abriendo las puertas a un universo de posibilidades extraordinarias. Comenzaremos nuestro viaje explorando las experiencias de algunos escritores célebres que tuvieron vivencias relacionadas con sus dobles. Figuras como Edgar Allan Poe, Fyodor Dostoievski y Mark Twain. La idea de que podemos tener un "doble", una especie de reflejo o duplicado de nosotros mismos, ha inspirado innumerables historias, mitos y leyendas. Desde el Doppelgänger de la mitología alemana hasta la figura del "otro yo" que existe en algún lugar del planeta… tal vez en otro país. En algunos países, esto es presagio de muerte. Y no falta razón, por algunas crónicas que se han contado… cuando esto ha ocurrido… al parecer, los testigos, al poco tiempo, han fallecido. Existen diversas teorías sobre la bilocación. Algunos la interpretan como un fenómeno espiritual o religioso, mientras que otros la exploran desde un enfoque científico, buscando explicaciones en la física cuántica o la parapsicología. Y aunque algunos de los más famosos involucran a figuras religiosas como San Alfonso María de Liguori o Santa Teresa de Ávila, hoy vamos a ver que no siempre ha sido así. Algunos lo explican con "viajes astrales". El Padre Pío de Pietrelcina, el famoso y controvertido monje capuchino, es solo uno de esos ejemplos. Uno de los casos más famosos es la historia es el de Emélie Sagée. Autores como Plauto, Hoffmann, Robert Louis Stevenson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hans Christian Andersen, Edgar Allan Poe, Fyodor Dostoievski, Christina Rossetti, Alfred de Musset, William Butler Yeats, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, entre muchos otros, han plasmado en sus obras el motivo del doppelgänger, ese doble fantasmal. Un personaje físico idéntico al protagonista, como en "El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde" de Stevenson. Un reflejo en el espejo que cobra vida propia, como en "El retrato de Dorian Gray" de Oscar Wilde. Una presencia fantasmal que atormenta al protagonista, como en "William Wilson" de Edgar Allan Poe. Un símbolo de la conciencia dividida o de la locura, como en "El doble" de Fyodor Dostoievski. Figuras como Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Fyodor Dostoievski A põe, una de estas experiencias, lo llevó a escribir un poema titulado "Ulalume", donde describe la visión de una mujer similar a su fallecida prometida. "William Wilson": En este relato, un hombre se encuentra con su doppelgänger, quien representa su lado oscuro y lo conduce a la destrucción. "El sistema del doctor Tarr y el profesor Feather": Esta historia explora la locura y la dualidad del ser humano a través de un experimento que involucra la división de la personalidad. "El pozo y el péndulo": En este relato de terror gótico, el protagonista se enfrenta a sus propios demonios internos en un ambiente claustrofóbico y opresivo. Personajes famosos que tuvieron casos similares son: Lord Byron, Maupassant, Anton Chejov, Percy B. Shelley, esposo de Mary Shelley, El poeta John Donne, San Francisco de Asís, San Martín de Porres, el Padre Pío. Pero si hay un caso excepcional, es el de Sor María de Ágreda, vida que inspiraría la obra de Javier Sierra, La Dama Azul. El Padre Eduardo Rodríguez. Viajaremos también al Tíbet para saber como se forma y qué son los Tulpas y lo que le pasó a Alexandra David-Neel . Para los chamanes, el sueño no es un mero estado de descanso, sino un portal hacia un universo paralelo donde reside su doble, un ser energético que refleja su esencia más profunda. A este proceso de acceso consciente al mundo onírico lo denominan “ensoñación". Otros famosos fueron: Caspar David Friedrich, el célebre pintor romántico alemán. Van Gogh. Mary Todd Lincoln, la esposa del presidente Lincoln. Catalina la Grande, la emperatriz de Rusia. Humberto I, rey de Italia. Sir Walter Scott: Novelista, poeta e historiador escocés. Alexandre Dumas: Escritor francés. Hans Christian Andersen: Escritor danés. Abraham Lincoln: Presidente estadounidense. Nicolás Gogol: Escritor ruso.

The poem “The Lowest Room” by Christina Rossetti explores what it means to be in the lower place, the spot where you look up and see all the things that you want to be and should be and instead find yourself, discontentedly, on the lower rung. This Friday, we are taking a look at a life of comparison, the standards we set for ourselves and others, and what Christianity reveals about being in the lowest room.

Join Cassandra on a journey to the mysterious Goblin Market on this edition of Unpleasant Dreams! This classic was written by Christina Rossetti and released in 1862. Thank you for listening and please share the show your friends!

Poet Christina Rossetti was born in 1830, the youngest child in an extraordinarily gifted family. Her father, the Italian poet and political exile Gabriele Rossetti, immigrated to England in 1824 and established a career as a Dante scholar and teacher of Italian in London. He married the half-English, half-Italian Frances Polidori in 1826, and they had four children in quick succession: Maria Francesca in 1827, Gabriel Charles Dante (famous under the name Dante Gabriel but always called Gabriel by family members) in 1828, William Michael in 1829, and Christina Georgina on 5 December 1830. In 1831 Gabriele Rossetti was appointed to the chair of Italian at the newly opened King's College. The children received their earliest education, and Maria and Christina all of theirs, from their mother, who had been trained as a governess and was committed to cultivating intellectual excellence in her family. Certainly this ambition was satisfied: Maria was the author of a respected study of Dante, as well as books on religious instruction and Italian grammar and translation; Dante Gabriel distinguished himself as one of the foremost poets and painters of his era; and William was a prolific art and literary critic, editor, and memoirist of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Christina became one of the Victorian age's finest poets. She was the author of numerous books of poetry, including Goblin Market and other Poems (1862), The Prince's Progress (1866), A Pageant (1881), and The Face of the Deep (1882).Rossetti's poetry has never disappeared from view. Critical interest in Rossetti's poetry swelled in the final decades of the twentieth century, a resurgence largely impelled by the emergence of feminist criticism; much of this commentary focuses on gender issues in her poetry and on Rossetti as a woman poet. In Rossetti's lifetime opinion was divided over whether she or Elizabeth Barrett Browning was the greatest female poet of the era; in any case, after Browning's death in 1861 readers and critics saw Rossetti as the older poet's rightful successor. The two poets achieved different kinds of excellence, as is evident in Dante Gabriel Rossetti‘s comment on his sister, quoted by William Sharp in The Atlantic Monthly (June 1895): “She is the finest woman-poet since Mrs. Browning, by a long way; and in artless art, if not in intellectual impulse, is greatly Mrs. Browning's superior.” Readers have generally considered Rossetti's poetry less intellectual, less political, and less varied than Browning's; conversely, they have acknowledged Rossetti as having the greater lyric gift, with her poetry displaying a perfection of diction, tone, and form under the guise of utter simplicity.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Behold your king. Katie: I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day by Henry W. Longfellow In despair I bowed my head “There is no peace on Earth,” I said For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men … Then rang the bells more loud and deep God is not dead, nor doth He sleep” Matt: Angels, From the Realms of Glory by James Montgomery Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you, break your chains.

December 17, 2023 • Christina Rossetti: Love Incarnate, Love Divine – Melody Schwarting by All Souls Anglican Church

This week I've been a bit under the weather, so I'm bringing you an older episode from 2021, all about how to really prepare for Christmas. In this giving season, let's tune our hearts to how God is calling us to live these hope-peace-joy-love weeks well and to be present with our sisters and brothers with whatever we have. If you'd like to connect with me, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠find me on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at my website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. If you'd like to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠help support this podcast financially⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, there's a way to do just that ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on my page at buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! Thanks for sharing, subscribing, rating, and reviewing, as this helps our community to grow. Thanks as always to my friend, Peter Vaughan-Vail, for providing the beautiful harp music you hear in this and every episode. Here are some resources I hope will help you to engage with this week's topic in a deeper way for yourself: In this season, our minds turn toward giving, and in this episode we'll talk about the what, where, when, how, and why we give as people of faith. Let's be intentional to give well this year in a way that benefits the recipients of our giving as well as ourselves. 1. As promised, ⁠"Christmas Morning"⁠ from Saturday Night Live, 2020 2. Song: ⁠Simple Gifts⁠, Traditional - Yo-Yo Ma 3. Song: ⁠Simple Gifts from Appalachian Spring⁠ - Aaron Copland, John Williams, Boston Pops Orchestra 4. Look at (and research using a service such as ⁠Charity Navigator⁠) charities that resonate with your talent, interest, and resources and give to them directly, as gifts, or in honor of loved ones. If you're local to me - ⁠My Brother's Keeper⁠ is a good place to give at this time of year and year-round. 5. A short piece I wrote in 2015 about listening to our inner voice to direct our giving, divine reciprocity, and about finding God in a grocery store (which I do all the time): ⁠Pineapples, Orange Soda, Chicken Salad⁠ 6. All about ⁠St. Nicholas, Gift Giver⁠, from St. Nicholas Center 7. Song: ⁠Give a Little Bit⁠, by Supertramp (How does knowing we're all "on our way back home" affect how you give?) 8. Journal prompts: As I look back on my life, how does my own lived experience inform how and to whom I give? If I've suffered hardship (as we all have), how can I turn that experience for the good by investing in and helping my community in a specific way? How can I care for myself well in this season so that my giving comes from a place of health and not depletion this year? What am I good at? What do I have? What do I know? How could I use these things to make the life of someone else better? 9. Video: ⁠The Joy of Giving⁠: effects of giving on our brains, by Big Think 10: Song: ⁠In the Bleak Midwinter⁠ - Worcester Cathedral Choir, Christina Rossetti, Gustav Holst

A London newspaper review of the exhibition mentioned Siddal by name: “Her drawings display an admiring adoption of all the most startling peculiarities of Mr. Rossetti's style, but they have nevertheless qualities which entitle them to high praise.” The reviewer also expressed admiration for the “high, pure, and independent feeling” of Siddal's rendering of human faces in her drawings. Her painting, Clerk Saunders, was purchased by an American collector in attendance. Significant collections of her artworks can be found at Wightwick Manor and the Ashmolean.

As a self confessed “silver spooner” who enjoyed a privileged upbringing Polly Toynbee talks to Nuala McGovern about her committed left wing "rabble rouser" ancestors and her own life long battle with the injustices of the British class system. In our series about narcissistic mothers we've heard a lot from daughters. Yesterday, a listener we are calling Bethany told her story. Her relationship with her daughter had been strained for a long time. In January she received a book in the post about how to spot and deal with a narcissistic mother, some passages were highlighted , and a letter. Today she picks up the story and explained how she felt as she opened the book and read the passages pointed out by her daughter. How does it feel to be labelled a narcissist and how can you move forward from there? Last month we looked at the experience of caring with authors Emily Kenway and Lynne Tillman.

What is that people hate about the Pre-Raphaelites? From the 19th century to the present day their detractors have been remarkably consistent in the language that they have used to the describe their visceral dislike of these artists and their works. Dinah Roe, Greg Tate and Lynda Nead join Matthew Sweet to examine what makes Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his gang such a polarising force in art history. They also delve into the powerful and sensual poetry of Christina Rossetti and Walter Pater's scandalous book about the Renaissance.
