A ground breaking new book that considers all Siddal poems with
reference to female and primarily male counterparts, adding
substantially to knowledge of her work as a writer, and their
shared contemporary concerns. Dante Rossetti, Swinburne, Tennyson,
Ruskin and Keats were either known to her or a source of influence
on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with which she was associated,
and certain of their texts are compared with hers to discuss
interplay between erotic and spiritual love, the ballad tradition,
nineteenth-century feminism, and the Romantic concept of the
conjoined physical and spectral body. Siddal's artwork is used to
introduce each chapter, while other Pre-Raphaelite paintings
illuminate the texts and further the inter-disciplinary philosophy
of the Brotherhood. This important and stimulating book focuses on
the intrinsic merit of Siddal's poetics whilst advocating a
research method that could have multiple applications elsewhere. --
