- This book offers an original narrative of the life and works of Christina Rossetti in relation to her ecotheology. Through archival work on her religious writings, letters, and commentaries on Anglo-Catholicism, the book rethinks Rossetti as a political and ethical reader of flora and fauna, stars and planets, humans and angels as part of one interdependent creation. A spiritual materialist whose activist commitment to plant and animal rights was part of her Trinitarian reading of creation as a participatory cosmos, Rossetti is newly revealed as a figure influenced as much by Franciscan environmentalism as Pre-Raphaelitism and the Oxford Movement.
