Description

Simeon Solomon's Collected Writings offers a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's most talented artists. This volume, edited and curated by Daniel Corrick, brings together Solomon's lesser-known writings, including prose poems, essays, and rare literary pieces. Among these works are two extended prose poems, "A Mystery of Love in Sleep" and "A Vision of Love Revealed in Sleep", as well as a play, "Cleopatra's Needle", which is one of only one original copy known to exist. The collection also includes Solomon's correspondence with Algernon Charles Swinburne and reviews of his writing by J. A. Symonds. Solomon's writings demonstrate a mind of great delicacy of thought, as well as often humorous instincts, providing a fresh perspective on the artist's life and work.
