This book examines the treatment of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his
work in twentieth and twenty-first century fiction, drama, music,
and film, specifically since 1950. The author uses these genres to
examine how text, music, performance, and visual images work as a
system of representation. In this book, the author strives to
clarify the many Dante Gabriel Rossettis, using thirteen of the
thirty easily identifiable roles in this system of representation
which the author has identified herself-roles by which Rossetti is
described and portrayed. The identified portrayals of Rossetti fall
easily into five groupings: first, the Italian-English man who is a
brother and a loyal friend; second, the poet who is a painter and
co-founder of an art movement which afforded him the chance to be a
mentor; third, the lover, seducer, husband, oppressor; fourth, the
murderer; and fifth, the tortured artist and addict who was
mentally ill. These are the portrayals are used throughout this
work. Several have chronological boundaries and are discrete
representations while others reoccur across the time period
covered. Using these categories, the author examines seven works of
prose fiction, a feature-length film, two television series, a
stage play, and the songs and lyrics of a contemporary band.
