The Resume

    (December 5, 1830-December 29, 1894)
    Wrote 'Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862),' 'The Prince's Progress and Other Poems (1866),' 'A Pageant and Other Poems (1871),' and 'New Poems' (published posthumously, 1896)
    Sister of painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Why she might be annoying:

    She was a beautiful young woman who became an old spinster.
    She was overly serious about religion.
    She crossed out 'dirty' passages in books she owned.
    She didn't think women should be painted in the nude.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She wrote in a simple, beautiful style.
    Many read lesbian overtones into her poem 'Goblin Market.'
    It contains the great lines 'Hug me, kiss me, suck my juices,' and 'She sucked and sucked and sucked the more . . . She sucked until her lips were sore.'
