    Christina Georgina Rossetti was an English Poet of the eighteenth century. She wrote a variety of romantic, devotional, and children's poems which was something unique about her poetry. She is best known for her long poem Goblin Market, her love poem Remember, and for the words of the Christmas carol In the Bleak Midwinter. Rossetti was born in London on 5th December, 1830 and was educated at home by her mother who supplemented their learning with religious works, classics, fairytales and novels. She began writing down and dating her poems from 1842, mostly imitating her favoured poets. From 1847 she began experimenting with verse forms such as sonnets, hymns and ballads, drawing narratives from the bible, folk takes and the lives of the saints. Her early pieces often feature meditations on death and loss, in the Romantic tradition. Rossetti maintained a very large circle of friends and correspondents and continued to write and publish for the rest of her life, primarily focusing on devotional writing and children's poetry. Rossetti suffered from Graves Disease, and died on 29 December 1894 and was buried in Highgate Cemetery. Rossetti is honoured with a feast day on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA) on April 27.
