About the poet:
Born: December 5,1830 in London, United Kingdom.
Died: December
29,1894 in London, United Kingdom.
Rosetti is known for writing children's poems, romantic and
devotional works. She was a lively child and dictated her first
story to her mother before she could write. When she was 14 she
had a nervous breakdown and quit going to school. She would then
suffer with depression off and on through her life.
Her first poems
were published at age 18 and she was hailed to become Elizabeth Barrett
Browning's successor. Her religion was important to her and can be
found in her writing, as well as her passion to help women who came out
of prostitution. She continued to writeand publish her whole life.
