Christina Rossetti's Poems

1. The artist of "In An Artist's Studio" is clearly Dante Rossetti. What does Christina seem to think of her brother's depictions of women?
2. What picture does Rossetti offer in these poems of men and love?
3. Like her brother's "The Blessed Damozel," Christina's "After Death" imagines the dead woman speaking of the still-living man. But how do the two poems differ?
4. What is the speaker's secret in "Winter: My Secret"? What specific language and imagery indicates and reinforces this?
5. "Promises Like Pie-Crust" is a poem full of negation: no, never, not, uncast dies, untold fortunes, faded images, lost liberty. Why?
