About This Item
New York : Weybright and Talley, 1977. First Edition. Hardback. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 303 pages; Description: xiii, 303 p., 8 leaves of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Subjects: Rossetti family. Authors, English --19th century --Painters --Great Britain --Biography. Summary: The collective story of the sons and daughters of Gabriele Rossetti moves among political radicals, bohemian artists and writers, withdrawn intellectuals and reclusive dreamers. Collectively they were a fascinating creative family whose closely woven story has never been told as such because the notoriety of one and the genius of another have served to eclipse the remaining two. The drama of Dante Gabriel, Maria, William and Christina Rossetti and their family and friends of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood emerges in these pages as one of the most bizarre and compelling episodes in Victorian life.
