Description
A major poet, writer and painter, Dante Gabriel Rossetti was seen as the dominating cultural presence in the second half of the 19th century. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite movement, revised and re-imagined Blake's project of marrying images and texts, and was a shaping influence on Modernist aesthetic ideas and practices. His translations are original poetical works in their own right. Jerome McGann, scholar of the 19th and 20th century, presents a selection of Rossetti's poetry, prose and original translations. The collection is accompanied by McGann's commentaries and notes.
Reviews / Votes
"This is the most coherent and intelligible selection of Rossetti's work available in print, and it has the most interpretatively suggestive notes. Its inclusion of important writings not available elsewhere will expand the current understanding of Rossetti." Elizabeth Helsinger, University of ChicgoMore details
