| The central objective of this thesis is to thoroughly examine the Victorian poems “Goblin Market” written by Christina Rossetti simultaneously with Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “Aurora Leigh” and other of their selected poems. This essay will demonstrate the poets’ expression of feminist ideas on the recurring themes in their work and study of contemporary historical context following the Catholic Emancipation Act. Both poets being fairly interested and engaged in the discussions surrounding women’s rights and their position in the Victorian society have expressed their experience with navigating such religious imposed norms through their poetry. Critical analysis of sisterhood, female companionship, or internalized misogyny in Christina Rossetti’s work will be amplified by the controversy of marriage and its connection to death in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s art. Both poets were one of the first to tackle these controversial topics from a valiant perspective. Notably, Barrett Browning has repeatedly illuminated the ways in which the institution of marriage is oppressive and restrictive to women. Subsequently emphasizing the fact that love and sexual relations are often embedded in power disproportion in society. Employing the Victorian theme of glamorizing death, she speaks on the threatening protentional of normalizing such restrictive entrapping. Rossetti on the other hand, focuses on chastity which is strongly implemented by the Catholic Church. |
