The Pre-Raphaelites were a revolutionary band of 19th-century artists and poets who rejected the artistic conventions of their time. In this collection, acclaimed editor Paul Negri captures the movement's vivid imagery and lyrical power. From Dante Gabriel Rossetti's sensual sonnets to the pastoral elegies of Christina Rossetti, these poems transport readers to a world of lush romanticism and symbolic beauty.
