"Come Buy": The Crossing of Sexual and Consumer Desire in Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market."

The author comments on Christina Rossetti's canonical poem "Goblin Market." He notes that it continues to captivate with its critical yet ambivalent assessment of the overlapping spheres of Victorian economics and politics despite its deceptive form. He argues that the poem's language of economics rehearses a form of desire and a mode of enjoyment based on self-negation. He also presented his reactions to the poem in five sections each offering close-reading criticism.
