Dante Rossetti, Swinburne, Tennyson, Ruskin and Keats were either known to her or a source of influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with which she was associated, and certain of their texts are compared with hers to discuss interplay between erotic and spiritual love, the ballad tradition, nineteenth-century feminism, and the Romantic concept of the conjoined physical and spectral body.  Siddal’s artwork is used to introduce each chapter, while other Pre-Raphaelite paintings illuminate the texts and further the inter-disciplinary philosophy of the Brotherhood.  This important and stimulating book focuses on the intrinsic merit of Siddal’s poetics whilst advocating a research method that could have multiple applications elsewhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Woolley robustly engages with Siddal’s strange, intense lyrical ballads...'\u003cbr\u003eThe Critic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This critical study of Siddal’s life and poetry is hugely significant in our reassessment and re-understanding of Victorian women writers. A voice that has been forgotten and seen as a morbid footnote in the shadow of her husband has emerged as a poetess and artist of the same distinction as her contemporaries and worthy of closer critical attention.'\u003cbr\u003eBAVS Newsletter\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Siddal, Christina Rossetti and the literary context\u003cbr\u003e1 Siddal, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the duality of love\u003cbr\u003e2 Siddal, Swinburne and the ballad tradition\u003cbr\u003e3 Siddal, Tennyson, Ruskin and the feminist question\u003cbr\u003e4 Siddal, Keats and Pre-Raphaelite relations of power\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Contextualising Elizabeth Siddal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041005142359,"sku":"9781526143846","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526143846.jpg?v=1750948577","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-poems-of-elizabeth-siddal-in-context-9781526143846","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
