Review
Attractive. -- Publishers Weekly

This is a smart collection...offers new perspective on one of the 19th century’s most renowned figures. -- Virginia Quarterly Review --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description
Born in London in 1828, of British and Italian parentage, DGR became a pupil of Ford Madox Brown and later formed the PRB to effect a revolution in English painting and poetry. His work in both forms was detailed, symbolic, mystical, and sometimes erotic. He was involved with two of the PRB ‘stunners’, first Lizzie Siddal who died of a laudanum overdose, then Jane Morris. Notoriously, DGR buried his poetry manuscripts with Siddal, but later exhumed them. Latterly involved with William Morris’s decorative arts firm, DRG died – a near recluse – in 1882, a Romantic Victorian revolutionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars A genius of a poet, a genius of an editor, March 27, 2001
By A Customer
Next to the glory of his paintings, it's easy to forget that Dante Gabriel Rossetti was a talented poet as well. It's easy to overlook his written work, even such classics as "Jenny" and "The Blessed Damozel", and the sonnets.

In this lovely anthology, Jan Marsh -- the foremost authority on the Pre-Raphaelite circle -- has collected and arranged Rossetti's writings. Buy this book, and sample the elegance of Victorian literature, and the genius of Rossetti.
