Short biography
Christina Rossetti's popularity grew after her death and she is now considered one of the leading English Victorian poets. Her work influenced that of other writers such as Virginia Woolf, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Philip Larkin. Although not a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Christina was engaged for a time to the painter James Collinson, who was a founder of that group with her brothers Dante and William, and she sat as a model for several of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's most famous paintings.
