Books by Lionel Stevenson

Many books have been written about the Pre-Raphaelite movement in painting, but its manisfestation in poetry has been relatively ignored. These exemplary essays offer lively judgments on the themes and relationships of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Christina Rossetti, William Morris, and Algernon Charles Swinburne and provide fresh insights on their imagery and prosody.

"An extraordinary acute interpretation of these poets and their aims and accomplishments." -Virginia Quarterly Review
