Dans un texte en hommage au centenaire de la naissance de Christina Rossetti, une femme non moins talentueuse et exigeante, Virgina Woolf, s'amuse à esquisser le portrait de cette artiste complexe et discrète, muse flottante à la foi d'airain : «Vous étiez poète d'instinct. Vous avez toujours vu le monde sous le même angle. Les années, et les échanges avec les hommes et les livres ne vous ont pas affectée le moins du monde. Vous avez ignoré soigneusement tous les livres qui auraient pu ébranler votre foi ou n'importe quel être humain qui aurait pu vous troubler. Vous étiez sage, peut-être. Votre intuition était si sûre, si directe, si intense, qu'elle produisait des poèmes qui chantent comme de la musique dans nos oreilles - comme une mélodie de Mozart ou un air de Gluck. Pourtant, malgré son équilibre, votre chant était complexe. Lorsque vous jouiez de la harpe, les cordes sonnaient ensemble. Comme toutes les personnes instinctives, vous aviez une conscience aiguë de la beauté visuelle du monde. Vos poèmes sont habités de poussière dorée et de la douce et changeante luminosité des géraniums ; votre regard était sans cesse aux aguets, notant que les joncs ont des tiges de velours, et les lézards une étrange carapace métallique - il est certain que votre regard observait tout avec une intense sensualité préraphaélite, ce qui a dû surprendre l'anglocatholique Christina. Mais vous lui devez peut-être la constance et la tristesse de votre muse. La pression d'une foi intense entoure et enserre ces petits chants. Peut-être lui doivent-ils leur solidité.».

Deux soeurs, Lizzie et Laura, sont tentées par les fruits maléfiques des gobelins, lutins des landes et des forêts anglaises.
Laura cède et tombe dans une langueur mortelle, Lizzie affronte les gobelins e1 la sauve. Ecrit en 1859 par la sueur du peintre préraphaélite Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Goblin Market est un classique de la littérature enfantine anglaise qui n'avait encore jamais été traduit en français. Ce texte mythique et magique exerce un étrange envoûtement. Une forêt profonde et hantée sert d'écrin aux silhouettes des deux soeurs, tantôt enfantines, tantôt adultes, comme le lecteur de tout âge à qui ce conte féerique est destiné.
La traduction en français de Marianne Tomi est suivie du texte original en anglais. Anne-Laure Sacriste a illustré Marché Gobelin de 12 gravures à l'eau-forte.

Christina Rossetti is one of the great Victorian poets. Best known for her poems 'Goblin Market' and 'In the bleak midwinter', she is also the author of a wide range of other poems, nursery rhymes, short stories, and devotional prose, the best of which is selected here.
This is the fullest one-volume edition of Rossetti's writings, in which published and unpublished poems are brought together in one chronological sequence in order to show Rossetti's poetic development.
Includes the fullest selection of Rossetti's devotional prose alongside four complete short stories, including 'Maude'.
Contains the fullest and most helpful annotation of any edition.
Introduction places Rossetti in her historical and literary contexts, discusses the main critical approaches to her work, and its religious influences.
Includes facsimile frontispiece and title-page to 'Goblin Market' 'The mystery of Life, the mystery Of Death, I see Darkly as in a glass...' Christina Rossetti (1830-94) is perhaps the most contradictory of the great Victorian poets. She writes of the world's beauty, but fears that it may be deceptive, even deadly. She is a religious poet, but much of her work is driven by uncertainty. Her poems are restrained, even secretive, but they seek nothing less than the mystery of Life and Death.
This edition contains Rossetti's strongest and most distinctive work: poetry (including 'Goblin Market', 'The Prince's Progress', and the sonnet sequence 'Monna Innominata'), stories (including the complete text of Maude), devotional prose (with nearly fifty entries from the 'reading diary' Times Flies), and personal letters. Those poems which Rossetti published, and those which she withheld from publication, are here brought together in chronological order, allowing the reader to observe her poetic trajectory. This edition also records the major revisions made by Rossetti when preparing her poems for publication. It brings together the fullest range of Rossetti's poetry and prose in one volume, and is an indispensable introduction to this entrancing writer.
Readership: Poetry lovers, readers of Victorian literature, women's writing, religious and devotional writing, students of nineteenth-century English literature.

Chez Christina Rossetti, la femme est vivante et active, n'hésitant pas à protester et à donner voix à ses émotions dans toute leur variété, à faire venir l'homme sur son propre terrain pour l'y interpeller. La muse s'émancipe soudain et offre sa version de l'amour, devient poétesse en déconstruisant la tradition littéraire : ses vers insistent sur l'égalité des amants, sur l'absence de rivalité amoureuse et sur la réciprocité d'un amour où jamais ne devrait exister de compétition pour savoir qui aime le mieux. Raluca Belandry nous offre par cette traduction inédite, une profonde vision des racines de l'expression créative féminine.

Paru en octobre 2023, Laura, Lizzie et les hommes-gobelins est né d'une envie commune à Diglee et Clémentine Beauvais : celle de faire découvrir l'oeuvre de la poétesse Christina Rossetti, et notamment ce long poème, un classique outre-Manche, qui est totalement méconnu chez nous.
Ce magnifique volume toilé et marqué au fer contient une biographie et un portrait de Christina Rossetti par Diglee, un avant-propos passionnant (et vraiment très drôle !) de Clémentine Beauvais sur la traduction libre, le poème traduit en français dans une incroyable traduction signée Clémentine Beauvais et illustré par Diglee (est-il nécessaire de préciser que les illustrations sont sublimes ?), et enfin le poème en version originale.
C'est un livre précieux et un travail remarquable, qui donne à ce texte l'étonnante modernité qu'il mérite. Difficile de ne pas y voir, avec nos yeux d'aujourd'hui, un conte féministe qui met en garde contre les hommes - sans pour autant craindre nos désirs - et nous encourage à faire confiance à nos soeurs.
Laura, Lizzie et les hommes-gobelins est aussi une invitation à jouer, à chercher les sens cachés dans les allitérations malignes de Clémentine Beauvais, qui font naître mille images, et dans les fleurs et fruits défendus dessinés par Diglee.
