Christina Rossetti's Feminist Theology
Read
in the context of emerging 19th Century women's theology, Rossetti's
devotional prose shows a distinct preference for the "wisdom texts" of
scripture, and foreshadows the work of leading feminist theologians
today. This volume disputes the assumption that Rossetti was a follower
of Keble and Pusey, and shows how her dissatisfaction with the
male-dominated call to celibacy led her to reject their notions of
worldliness, and to form a closer bond with the physical world and the
body.
