The Germ by Paola Spinozzi

«In their fresh reassessment of ‘The Germ’, its ambitions, its paradoxes, and its self-reflexivity, the authors provide a useful literary and critical addition to the recent inclusion of Pre-Raphaelitism within the broader context of European Avant-gardes [..].» (Béatrice Laurent, Cahiers victoriens et édouardiens 79, 2014)
