Title of the paper: If the worst comes to the worst; she was woman and sister.
Author or topic: Christina Rossetti
Abstract: In this paper I am going to analyze several poems written by Christina Georgina Rossetti (Ellen Alleyne) to make reader understand that this author would have taken part in Pre-Raphaelitism Brotherhood by the components both share in poetry. First of all, I have written an introduction to present the work I have carried out. I have offered a comparison between Pre-Raphaelite poetry’s themes and Christina Rossetti poetry’s ones: medieval, inner life, religion and love; because starting from that, I have realized she was excluded from this movement without any justified reason. So, another grounds originated the exclusion such as she was a woman and she was the sister of a well-known face. Lastly, the conclusion summarizes my impressions on the paper and my personal contribution.
Auto-evaluation: I think I deserve a mark of 7, since I have chosen an engaging topic to the viewer, I have gone beyond a simple fact (Christina Rossetti wasn’t a membership of Pre-Raphaelitism Brotherhood) and I have got me mixed up a lot in her poetry and her life to discover the unforeseen reasons of this exclusion. As detailed as it is possible, this paper has been done.
