In this book, Heather McAlpine argues that emblematic strategies
play a more central role in Pre-Raphaelite poetics than has been
acknowledged, and that reading Pre-Raphaelite works with an
awareness of these strategies permits a new understanding of the
movement's engagements with ontology, religion, representation, and
politics. The emblem is a discursive practice that promises to
stabilize language in the face of doubt, making it especially
interesting as a site of conflicting responses to Victorian crises
of representation. Through analyses of works by the Pre-Raphaelite
Brotherhood, Christina Rossetti, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Gerard
Manley Hopkins, A.C. Swinburne, and William Morris, Emblematic
Strategies examines the Pre-Raphaelite movement's common goal of
conveying "truth" while highlighting differences in its adherents'
approaches to that task.
