Christina Rossetti on the Radio!

From listening to the radio programme, I found the discussion of Goblin Market interesting. Lizzie and Laura were suggested as in fact representing Rossetti and her sister, with Lizzie being Christina herself, who she herself believed to be less devout than her sibling, while Laura represented her sister. Christina apparently tried strawberries when she was young that her sister warned her against, resulting in Christina getting canker sores. I found the fact that the poem could be representing herself and her own faults, such as giving in to temptations, very interesting.
