Abstract
Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) is regarded is one of the greatest Christian poets to write in English. While Rossetti has firmly secured her place in the cannon, her religious poetry was for a long time unfashionable within a literary critical field dominated by politics (Marxism; feminism; queer studies) assumed to take its task with Christianity. Recent scholarship readdresses reductive understanding of religion and faith as ideology, while also demonstrating that feminism was at the forefront of nineteenth-century Christian culture. This shift has enabled new readings of Rossetti's work, not simply as a canon of significant nineteenth-century devotional literature, but also as a marker of religion's relevance to modern concern through its reflection on science and materialism, as well as spirituality and mysticism.
