An important and often-quoted literary figure, the English poet Christina Rossetti (1830–1894) wrote some of the most beautiful and voluptuous poetry in the English language. Like Emily Dickinson, she lived in self-imposed isolation, writing of God and lost love with a sensuality and passion that seemed to emanate from the soul.This edition of 53 works combines a number of her best-known sonnets, ballads, and shorter lyrics with her long masterpiece, the narrative fable Goblin Market....

Написанная не для печати, зачисленная редакцией в разряд «отверженных» произведений, поэма Вольтера (1694–1778) «Орлеанская девственница» явилась одним из самых блестящих антирелигиозных памфлетов, какие только знала мировая литература. В легкомысленные образы облекает она большое общественное содержание. Яркие, кипучие, дерзкие стихи ее не только не потеряли своего звучания в наше время, но, напротив, получили большой резонанс благодаря своему сатирическому пафосу. Для своей поэмы Вольтер...
