The Pre-Raphaelites: From Rossetti to Ruskin by Dinah Roe
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.
Dinah Roe is a lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire and a freelance writer whose interests include the nineteenth-century novel, Victorian poetry, and women's writing. Born and raised in the United States, she holds degrees from Vassar College (USA) and University College London. She has written Christina Rossetti's Faithful Imagination (2006), and is currently working on a book about the Rossetti family and their circle. She lives in London.
