Outsiders Looking In
This new interdisciplinary collection of writing explores the achievements of the Rossettis in the context of the Victorian era and in the light of modern cultural and literary criticism. 'Outsiders Looking In' considers the position that the Anglo-Italian Rossettis occupied in the cultural melee of mid-Victorian London, a status that was both central and fringe owing to their dual nationality.
Christina Rossetti
'Jan Marsh's book is the best researched and fullest biography of Rossetti we have yet had.' Fiona MacCarthy, New York Review of Books'Although never formally part of the Pre-Raphaelite poetic school, which included her brother Gabriel, William Morris, and Algernon Swinburne, Christina Rossetti has always been linked to it. [Jan Marsh] gives full attention to both the individual and her unique variety of fantastic and devotional poetry... Marsh delineates an appealing person while examining her adolescent nervous breakdown, abortive engagement to a lapsed Catholic painter, frustrated love for an absentminded scholar, and relationships with her devout but hearty sister, Maria, and with her brothers... The author's steady, sympathetic course through Rossetti's divided life enables readers to delve into the intense and original self most fully expressed in her poetry.' Kirkus Review
A THEMATIC STUDY OF THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE FROM THE BEGINNING TO 2010
Studio critico – antologico diviso in due sezioni: la prima che riguarda la poesia, da Henry W. Longfellow a Walt Whitman a Emily Dickinson; la seconda riguardante lo sviluppo del teatro Americano dalle prime opere teatrali del periodo rivoluzionario, fino agli importantissimi lavori di Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams e Arthur Miller, per citare alcuni tra i più acclamati drammaturghi americani. Le due sezioni sono seguite da tre appendici al testo: - appendice I: breve resoconto della storia americana dal periodo coloniale ad oggi; - appendice II: elenco dei Presidenti degli Stati Uniti da George Washington a Barack Obama; - appendice III: riporta le biografie dei presidenti USA più importanti a partire dalla Rivoluzione del 1776
The Afterlife of Christina Rossetti
Despite new historical study of her contexts, Christina Rossetti continues to haunt the reader as a displaced subjectivity emptied of history. Through an analysis of the posthumous in her work, the construction of 'Christina Rossetti' by her brothers, and the history of reception, this study asks how 'speaking with the dead' can avoid critical ventriloquy. The figure of the mother is offered as a paradigm for theorising a new reading that refuses to exorcise the ghost of 'Christina Rossetti'.
William and Lucy
The marriage of William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919) and Lucy Madox Brown (1843-1894) united two of the most resonant Pre-Raphaelite family names. Their passionate and ultimately tragic relationship - described here for the first time - provides a fresh perspective on nineteenth-century marriage and on the private lives of eminent Victorians. Sibling of Dante Gabriel and Christina Rossetti, William was one of the original Pre-Raphaelite 'Brothers,' a Bohemian, radical author, poet, critic, artist, connoisseur, biographer, historian, and taxman. Lucy, the intense, intellectual daughter of Ford Madox Brown, was an ambitious artist and biographer of Mary Shelley in spite of struggling with tube...
