As of the early twenty-first century, Rossetti's appeal has expanded and she is widely considered one of the greatest Victorian poets of any gender. With the rise of feminist criticism in the 1980s, the poem's standing grew in tandem with an awareness of Rossetti as a notable female poet. "Goblin Market" and the collection in which it was first published led to Rossetti's standing as a writer of allegorical and lyric poetry. Most of the potential interpretations are not mutually exclusive. It can be read as a study of female sexuality, an allegory (or symbolic story) about divine and earthly love, a celebration of female heroism, or as a metaphor for Christ's sacrifice on the cross, among many other possibilities. Though Rossetti always maintained that "Goblin Market" is a children's poem, the strongly erotic elements underlying what is superficially a moral lesson make it a multi-layered and complex work. "Goblin Market" is the most discussed of Rossetti's poems and is widely considered to be her greatest work. The poem is also available in The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti (1979) and the 2001 issue of the same edition, simply titled The Complete Poems. The English Victorian poet Christina Rossetti's allegorical poem "Goblin Market" initially appeared in Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862), the first volume of her poetry to be commercially published.

The daughter of a poor Irish clergyman in the Church of England, Anne Brontë lived most of her life with her family at the parish of Haworth on the Yorkshire moors. However, her novels, like those of her sisters, have become classics of English literature. Mainly because the re-publication of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was prevented by Charlotte Brontë after Anne's death, she is less known than her sisters. She wrote in a realistic, rather than a romantic style. Anne's two novels, written in a sharp and ironic style, are completely different from the romanticism followed by her sisters, Emily Brontë and Charlotte Brontë.
