Talk:Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862)/After Death

formatting changes
I made some minor changes based on scans at Google Book. I based it off of the 1879 London edition. There is an earlier (1866) American "Authors Edition" (which means the author approved it's publication) but I trust the London version more even though it is a few years later.--BirgitteSB 18:36, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Need for notes
This poem needs some more notes on its interpretation. In particular I am unclear as to why the child is glad that the man who did not love it living is still alive while it is dead. -- Derek Ross 01:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikisource does not provide details on interpretation. However, you can easily find such notes through Google; for example, see The Poetic Turn in Christina Rossetti's "After Death". — {admin} Pathoschild 01:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * A belated thanks to you. I now understand what the corpse (and Rossetti) meant. -- Derek Ross 22:51, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
