In its response to a distinct revival of interest in Pre-Raphaelite
painting, much biographical attention has been focused on members
of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and on Dante Gabriel Rossetti in
particular. Rossetti's poetry, however, received comparatively
scant attention, and that often far from sympathetic. This 1981
book aims to provide the basis for a better understanding and a
juster appreciation of his poetic achievement. The main emphasis of
the book is on Rossetti's distinctive imaginative world and the
body of imagery which creates it; throughout there are close
analyses of the major poems. Dante is seen as a vital influence on
the form and significance which Rossetti's experience took in his
own mind, and a final chapter includes comparative readings of
William Morris and Christina Roessetti in a discussion of the
nature of the self-expressive impulses that are so dominant an
element in the creation of Pre-Raphaelite poetry.
