Goblin Market The Prince's Progress and Other Poems

Christina Rossetti

Sinossi

Before W.B. Yeats wrote of the mystical in his poetry, Christina Rossetti wrote Goblin Market, also the title poem within the collection Goblin Market, The Prince’s Progress and Other Poems. The title poem is about two sisters, and the lesson learned when one does not heed the warning to mingle with those at the Goblin Market. Rossetti’s collection blurred the lines between reality and imagination. Within this collection, Rossetti also has devotional poems, influenced by Rossetti’s religious background. The poem Sweet Death focuses on the church and the beauty between life and death. Christina Rossetti’s poetry reflects the Pre-Raphaelite Period in the arts, which was started by her brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti and a handful of poets and artists, a style and movement that featured romantic poetry, ekphrastic pieces, and intense imagery. Within Goblin Market, The Prince’s Progress and Other Poems includes a group of pastoral poems that capture and focus on the beauty of nature. For example The Lambs of Grasmere, 1860 feature the hardships of being a shepherd in 1860 and overcoming the potential loss of his herd. With beautiful imagery, Rossetti creates a sense of empathy with the reader and also gives a glimpse of her life and view of the world. This collection brings to life the mystical world with themes of religion, love, and mystical wonder which tie together the message and beauty of Christina Rossetti’s poetry. This edition contains a foreword by award-winning author Fran Wilde.

Yishai Sarid

Who will rule the Holy Land, and at what cost? 
 
 
 
In a near-future Jerusalem, harrowing omens plague the city: a desecrated altar, an unbearable stench, a rampant famine. Shaken but devout, Jonathan, the royal family's third son, continues to hold services and offer animal sacrifices at the prophesied Third Temple, built to consecrate the founding of the new Kingdom of Judah. His father, Israel's self-appointed king, has abolished the Supreme Court. The Torah is the law of the land, and only people of the Jewish faith are allowed in. When war breaks out and an angel of God begins to torment Jonathan, warning him of his father's sacrilege, the foundations of the young priest's faith—and then his world—begin to give way. 
 
 
 
Winner of the prestigious Bernstein Prize, The Third Temple plunges listeners into a tempest of fanaticism, betrayal, and destruction. Where does the power of man end and the power of God begin? With chilling resonance, this vivid novel from one of Israel's leading authors sounds an unforgettable warning amidst rising extremism.
