Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Christina Georgina Rossetti Christina Rossetti's first published poetic volume, which had been preceded by some poems issued in a more scattered shape, was produced in 1862; she died in 1894. It seems now to be time that her Poetical Works should be brought out in a duly co-ordinated form, practically (though not in the most absolute possible sense) complete. Her poetic volumes appeared as follows: - 1. Verses, privately printed, 1847. This volume has been reissued to the public at a recent date, but without any authority obtained, nor I suppose legally needed, from the representatives of the writer. 2. Goblin Market and other Poems, 1862 (Macmillan). 3. The Prince's Progress and other Poems, 1866 (Macmillan). 4. Sing-Song, 1872 (Routledge, now Macmillan). 5. A Pageant and other Poems, 1881 (Macmillan). The volumes 2, 3, and 5, have been reissued in a collected form, introducing a moderate number of additional poems. 6. Verses, 1893 (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge). These poems are reprinted in the volume here named from three earlier volumes of combined prose and verse. 7. New Poems, 1896 (Macmillan). Collected and edited by myself after Christina's death. From this list it will be seen that the Firm of Macmillan & Co., Limited, has now and heretofore been in a position to deal with all Christina Rossetti's poems, except only the Verses, 1893, No. 6 on the list. Those Verses include many of the finest devotional poems that she ever wrote; and to bring out, without including these, an edition of her poems professedly or proximately complete, would have been a fallacious attempt. By an arrangement made with the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, we are enabled to include the Verses in the present edition.
