...with pieces from Sarah Hardy, Kirsty Walker, Dr. Dennis Lanigan and much more!   The ambiguity of Christina Rossetti’s ‘Goblin Market’ has haunted the imagination of numerous artists from the very moment of its publication, a fascination which continues up to now, when new illustrated editions are being published and new musical productions are being staged. This talk will explore how illustrators and composers have transferred the poem into visual arts and music and will examine to what extent these creative transpositions have influenced the afterlife of Rossetti’s memorable lines. We will delve into Rossetti’s poetical language, with its sensuousness, rich imagery and musicality, and its adaptation into other sister arts, which will allow us to observe the manner in which illustration and music represent the source text.
