In the 1890’s just four years after Christina died, the critics at the time compared her to Jean Ingelow, who is an English poet and novelist and Mrs. Barrett- Browning, who is a poet that was respected in the Victorian Era. Christina was a woman who others see as a different person with strengths and comforts women and girls who are or become dejected from things or others. Her life was compared to her mother who is an Italian, but a person that did not do anything “in modern parlance” (Mayo). The things that Christina was able to do were some of the things that her mother did. Some of the poems that Christina wrote were dedicated to her mother.

She enjoyed reading books, but not as much as her siblings who also enjoy the art of paintings in relation to literature. She was willing to volunteer her time in helping “the poorest –girl workers of London” (Mayo). What made Christina popular was the poem Goblin Market, which impacted her. The poem was the “first literacy success of the Pre-Raphaelites” (Bentley). The Goblin Market was a fairy tale that everyone at the time felt that it was the greatest poem.

Christina wrote a number of poems when she was a little girl up to her death in 1894. This was what she enjoys doing in her life; as a result, it was a way of expressing herself as a devout Anglican. It is not said that Christina made a living be writing her poems, but it was rather more of interest and tired to accept the hard times she had in life.

     Some of the poems that Christina wrote were just not all because of her religion, but it was a way of expressing her thoughts. This is one of the reasons why she wrote children nursery rhythms. One selected book of poems that Christina wrote was the “Fly Away, Fly Away Over the Sea. There are more poems in the book that are for children in the book. Christina’s reason to why she wrote these poems was because it represents a pleasant view of childhood with rhymes in a “natural world.” The things that she writes about are the sun, moon and stars, and about thoughts and experiences that a child may have shared with other children. According to Hughes, Who Has Seen the Wind is one of the nursery poems that we are familiar with.
