This illustrated book focuses on the Pre-Raphaelite artists and their radical departure from artistic conventions. Barringer explores the meanings encoded in Pre-Raphaelite paintings and analyses key pictures and their significance within the complex social and cultural matrix of 19th century Britain.
The Pre-Raphaelite Movement began in 1848, and experienced its heyday in the 1860s and 1870s. Influenced by the then little-known Keats and Blake, as well as Wordsworth, Shelley and Coleridge, Pre-Raphaelite poetry 'etherialized sensation' (in the words of Antony Harrison), and popularized the notion ofl'art pour l'art - art for art's sake. Where Victorian realist novels explored the grit and grime of the Industrial Revolution, Pre-Raphaelite poems concentrated on more abstract themes of romantic love, artistic inspiration and sexuality. Later they attracted Aesthetes and Decadents like Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley and Ernest Dowson, not to mention Gerard Manley Hopkins and W.B. Yeats.
Focusing on two of the most influential figures in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, this book explores ways of considering art and literature together. The author traces the relationship of the poetry and poetics of Rossetti and Morris and their practice of visual art and design.
A study of the celebrated Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his circle, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

Excerpt from Dante Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Movement Of Dante Rossetti, or of the history and purpose Of the pre-raphaelite Brotherhood. The authoritative biography of Rossetti has yet to be written; and while availing myself fully of such new details as may cast fresh side-lights upon the dominant personalities of the pre-raphaelite move ment, my aim has rather been to present the main features of that movement in their relation to the larger intellectual tendencies of the age, and to the moral principles which have determined the growth of taste and feeling in the nineteenth century. To this end I have avoided as far as possible the proper domain Of the art critic, and endeavoured to deal with the pre-raphaelite movement more as an ethical than an aesthetic revolution.
