This vibrant collection of essays claims that a complex network of
texts by critics, biographers and diarists established the
credibility and influence of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
Throughout the twentieth century, Modernist taste failed to
acknowledge the achievement of oppositional groupings such as the
Pre-Raphaelites. The essays collected here, however, reveal that
the British group anticipated later avant-gardes by using the
written word to configure for itself a radical artistic identity.
Public and critics alike were scandalized by the radicalism of
Pre-Raphaelite painting, its unflinching portrayal of historical
figures and of contemporary life, and its irreverent attitude to
artistic convention. Pre-Raphaelitism's innovations were not
confined to style: new forms of artistic identity and behaviour
were explored. As the contributors interrogate the texts through
which Pre-Raphaelitism was constructed, they demonstrate that the
movement's wide influence as a cultural phenomenon derived from the
interplay between exhibited works and critical discourse. Applying
a range of sophisticated methodologies from the fields of literary
studies, art history, and cultural studies, these interdisciplinary
essays uncover the neglected role of texts in the success of the
Pre-Raphaelite rebellion and argue in favor of a new centrality for
this movement in the history of nineteenth-century European
culture.
