Christina Rossetti / Arthur Rackham (ill) - Goblin Market - 1934
"Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti and illustrated by Arthur Rackham - George Harrap, London - 1933 first UK Rackham edition - 15cmx13cm - condition: very good, in original dustwrapper with minor rubbing, ill. endpapers, with all Rackham plates present
Rossetti's Goblin Market, first published in 1862, is a fantastical narrative poem, interpreted variously as a feminist tract, a capitalist critique, an allegory for drug addiction, and a children's story; Rackham's delightfully eery illustrations are notably well-suited to the text's looming sense of danger. Rackham's nephew, the writer Walter Starkie, "confessed to thinking Rackham was a goblin 'in his shabby blue suit and carpet slippers, hopping about the studio with a palette on one arm, waving a paintbrush in his hand'" (ODNB). Latimore & Haskell, p. 69; Riall, p. 179. Octavo.
