For critics like John Ruskin and Walter Pater, Dante Gabriel
Rossetti (1828-1892) was one of the great creative figures of the
day, a painter and a poet of major stature. Yeats and the young
Pound regarded him as an exemplary figure of solitary dedication to
art and beauty.
Rossetti's most original work may have been in preparing the way
for the modernists, who in turn dethroned him. He called the sonnet
'a moment's monument', and his best short lyrics are instants of
oppressed emotion cut free of time. In this, as in the
suggestiveness of his imagery, he anticipates the French
Symbolists. He can also be regarded as the founder of modern verse
translation, not only for the freshness of his versions but also
for his choice of poets---Villon, Cavalcanti and the young Dante.
In this selection, Clive Wilmer has made a personal choice,
emphasizing the 'pure poetry' of the lyrics at the expense of the
more conventionally Victorian monologues and narratives. He has
also included a generous selection from the translations, and
provided a biographical and critical introduction.
Frank Laurence Lucas (1894-1967) was a renowned English author,
poet and classicist, often remembered for his polemical attacks on
key modernist figures such as T. S. Eliot, as well as his
meticulous scholarship in the production of texts such as the
four-volume Complete Works of John Webster. First published in
1933, this book presents an accessible selection of Dante Gabriel
Rossetti's poetry edited by Lucas. The text is divided into two
parts, with the first part containing translated works by other
poets and the second original works by Rossetti. This book will be
of value to anyone with an interest in Rossetti's poetry and the
writings of Lucas.

Few collections of verse have been associated with such drama as
these poems by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-82). Much of this work
had disappeared in 1862 when it was buried with Rossetti's wife,
Elizabeth Siddal, only to be brought back to the light of day in
1869. Rossetti added further poems and the work first appeared in
1870. The full impact of the sexually explicit material was soon
felt. In his article 'The Fleshly School of Poetry', the writer
Robert Williams Buchanan denounced Rossetti as corrupt and
decadent. Others joined the chorus of disapproving voices. Steeped
in remorse about his treatment of his wife, and riddled with guilt
about his affair with Jane Morris, Rossetti broke down and
attempted suicide. Behind all the sensation, however, lies
Rossetti's subtle and complex literary intelligence attempting,
many years before Freud, to find honest modes of expression for the
central importance of the libido.
