Abstract

Abstract: This article explicates Christina Rossetti's view that the four beasts surrounding God's throne in Revelation disclose the worship of all creation. It examines Face of the Deep , her commentary on Revelation, alongside her related portrayals of creation's worship in poems included in that commentary and her other devotional writings. It thereby expands recent attention to Rossetti's ecotheology, showing how her view of creation's praise informs her resistance to anthropocentrism, as well as her insistence that Christian devotion and practice must anticipate the life of the world to come through compassionate kinship with other creatures as fellow participants in divine love.
