Overview
Examines the influence of the PreRaphaelite movement on art and literature around the world.Synopsis
PreRaphaelitism's influence during the long nineteenth century was farreaching, affecting artistic and literary thought in places, media, and times far removed from its origins in 1848 London. Worldwide PreRaphaelitism examines the movement's development beyond England, from the continental "immortals" glorified by the nascent PreRaphaelite Brotherhood to later reactions against and in sympathy with the ideals of the movement after it had ended. This collection of essays by art historians, literary critics, fashion historians, women's studies scholars, and independent researchers from around the world enhances understanding of the global impact of PreRaphaelitism on the arthistorical and literary developments of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
