Description
This book re-examines the significance of Pre-Raphaelitism by exploring its relationship between poetry and painting. Lindsay Smith delves into the influence of John Ruskin's work on poets and painters, as well as the Pre-Raphaelite rehabilitation of the sister arts analogy.
At the heart of the project is a new reading of D.G. Rossetti's 'coffined book', a collection of manuscript poems that Smith sheds new light on. This approach highlights the complex aesthetic of resurrection that was central to the Pre-Raphaelites' artistic vision.
Through this and other examples, Smith redefines key categories in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, blurring the boundaries between the material and spiritual, the verbal and visual. This fresh perspective offers a new understanding of the enduring legacy of Pre-Raphaelitism.
