Through theologically-engaged close readings of her poetry and devotional prose, this
book explores how Christina Rossetti draws on the Bible and encourages her Victorian
readers to respond to its radical message of grace. Structured chronologically, each
chapter investigates her participation in the formation of Tractarian theology and
details how her interpretative strategies changed over the course of her lifetime.
Revealing how her encounter with the biblical text is informed by devotional classics,
Christina Rossetti and the Bible highlights the influence of Thomas a' Kempis, John
Bunyan, George Herbert and John Donne and describes how Rossetti adapted the teaching
of the Ancient and Patristic Fathers and medieval mystics. It also considers the interfaces
that are established between her devotional poems and the anthology and periodical
pieces alongside which they were published throughout the second half of the nineteenth-century.
