Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. Rossetti was a British poet, illustrator, painter and translator, and a member of the Rossetti family. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats. His later poetry was characterized by the complex interlinking of thought and feeling, especially in his sonnet sequence, The House of Life. Poetry and image are closely entwined in Rossetti's work. He frequently wrote sonnets to accompany his pictures, spanning from The Girlhood of Mary Virgin (1849) and Astarte Syriaca (1877), while also creating art to illustrate poems such as Goblin Market by the celebrated poet Christina Rossetti, his sister.

Vol. I. **Editor WILLIAM MICHAEL ROSSETTI (1829-1919) was the brother of London author, poet and painter DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI (1828-1882), and while employed as an administrator with the Inland Revenue, also documented the various works of the Pre-Raphaelite artist group to which their sister, the poet CHRISTINA ROSSETTI (1830-1894), was also allied. The child of Italian incomers, Rossetti did a number of translations appearing here including Dante's La Vita Nuova (The New Life). An essay on William Blake outlines the artist's admiration of the latter's work integrating prose and art, and including the bold use of color to evoke atmosphere and mood, qualities to which the artist Rossetti was to adapt to his own work. Much here to enjoy for the student of Pre-Raphaelite art and its influence, and potential links between the poetic images and other writings and DGR's paintings, all bound in an object unifying these arts.
