22 October 2022: "If I may be so bold, Christina Rossetti is the Victorian Era's version of an absolute icon." --a student in my class, writing about Rossetti in her paper. 

It's sometimes hard to predict what will land for students, but I find it kind of delightful that at least two--the student named above and another whose paper gave me this post's title--are really into Rossetti.
