This review is from: Collecting the Pre-Raphaelites: The Anglo-American Enchantment (Hardcover)

I was thrilled to read the title of this anthology as it related to my research. However, it did not include the American focus that I was looking for. While it did offer essential information, its American focus concentrates mainly on the collector Samuel Bancroft. However, it is still a solid resource for Pre-Raphaelite studies. It also offers good information about the movement's patrons. On plus note, it includes some of the foremost scholars on the area of Pre-Raphaelitism. While the title did not fully indicate its contents, I found it a worthwhile book. It makes a great compliment to Susan Casteras' book about Pre-Raphaelitism in 19th-century America.
