Book Synopsis
This useful volume presents the major works of the five leading Pre-Raphaelite poets. Foremost in the collection, and included in their entirety are D. G. Rossetti's The House of Life, C. G. Rossetti's Monna Innominata, William Morris's Defence of Guenevere, Swinburne's Atalanta in Calydon, and Meredith's Modern Love. Complementing these major poems is a fine, generous selection of the poets' shorter pieces that are typical of their work as a whole. For this second edition, Cecil Lang has substituted two early Swinburne poems, The Leper and Anactoria, for Fitzgerald's The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. These poems, which the editor describes as shocking, show a new aspect of Swinburne not discussed previously. Lang's Introduction describes briefly the founding of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, discusses each of the Pre-Raphaelite poets, both individually and in relation to the others, and grapples with the questions of definition of Pre-Raphaelitism and the similarities between its paintin
