Overview

The essays in this volume demonstrate how the Rossettis — from the celebrated Dante Gabriel and Christina to the comparatively neglected Maria and William — drew upon a shared cultural experience, and describe how each contributed to the intellectual debates of the age and played a substantial role in their various fields. Bringing together significant contributions from some of the most renowned experts on the Rossettis, Outsiders Looking In provides important new perspectives on this talented family and their brilliant legacy.

Synopsis

A fascinating and comprehensive review of the position of the Rossettis within the social and cultural maelstrom of Victorian London.
