Pre-Raphaelite Art in Its European Context

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Pre-Raphaelitism continues to generate considerable scholarly interest, and a new revisionist approach is offered in Pre-Raphaelite Art in Its European Context, which attempts to evaluate the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and their followers not in isolation as a solely British phenomenon but rather in terms of its larger Continental contexts in the nineteenth century. Essays by contributors forge links of Pre-Raphaelite art and thought with such movements as Impressionism, Symbolism, and the Rose + Croix salons. The essays reveal common themes, in literature and religion especially, on both sides of the Channel as well as underscoring the sustained influence on the Continent of John Ruskin, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, and William Morris.
