Description
Pre-Raphaelite poetry etherialized sensation and popularized the notion of art for arts sake. Where Victorian realism explored the grime of industrialised society, Pre-Raphaelite poems concentrated on more abstract themes of romantic love, artistic inspiration and sexuality. This book collects some of their greatest work and texts.
