Goblin Market and Other Poems was the first collection of her poetry to be published rather than printed, and it was the book that brought her to public attention. Throughout the poem Lizzie remains pure this is nothing new. Christina Rossetti had in fact had a volume of her poems (titled simply Verses) privately printed in 1847, though it attracted little attention. Rossettis efforts are to some degree successful, though she fails to solve the problem completely. Christina was aware that her brother's 'commercial savvy and artistic skill' helped make her first volume of poetry a success. In 'Goblin Market,' Rossetti creates a rudimentary framework of behavior in which a female hero a heroine might operate. Christina's brother, founding Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood member Dante Gabriel Rossetti, designed the frontispiece and title page illustrations in the first edition, as well as the minimal blue binding. It contains her famous poem ' Goblin Market' and others such as 'Up-hill', 'The Convent Threshold', and 'Maude Clare.' It also includes the poem 'In the Round Tower at Jhansi, 8 June 1857', in which a British army officer takes his wife's life and his own so that they do not have to face a horrific and dishonourable death at the hands of the rebelling sepoys, commemorating the Jhokan Bagh massacre at Jhansi. Goblin Market and Other Poems is Christina Rossetti's first volume of poetry, published by Macmillan in 1862.
