INDEX ....... 231 EOSSETTI CHAPTER I EARLY YEARS ROSSETTI'S life, it has been well said, has been treated by his biographers too much in the Pre-Raphaelite a method : we have been presented with great mass of detail, highly interesting in itself, but tending somewhat to obscure the distinctness of the central figure. Yet it is hard to see how it could have been otherwise. The seclusion in which in later life Rossetti lived, the fascinated interest which he inspired in those who were admitted within the close-shut doors, the strange light, so to speak, which the initiated brought away glimmering round their brows, from visits to the inmost presence-chamber, the pictures, guarded so jealously from all public displays, the poems, spring- ing from a source of which the secret was so deeply hidden all these things stimulated public curiosity to an extravagant degree. The result was that a host of distorted legends sprang up round the name of Rossetti, exaggerating all that was morbid, darkening every shadow, dwelling mainly on lapses from con- ventional standards, and substituting for the brave, genial, robust personality, which the chosen friends A 2 ROSSETTI [CHAP. still discerned under the overshadowing of doom, an affected, decadent, fantastic figure, posturing in a gloomy danse macabre, or wandering in an airless laby- rinth of poisonous loveliness. It was necessary then, at all hazards, for his biographers to tell the truth about Rossetti. But the outcome is that we have been told almost too much of him, and yet not enough. Of the earlier and brighter years the record is comparatively slight. Yet we can follow his footsteps, print by print, along the darkening pilgrimage, while the sombre figure of the dreamer marches heavily along, with sometimes a word and sometimes a glance flashed upon us, but severe, inscrutable, sad with a wilful sadness. With what philosophy he faced the doom that threatened him, how his eager pursuit of the beautiful harmonised, if it did harmonise, with the stubborn insistence of pain and decay, whether he increased in a grim and stoical resistance, or turned his back upon the awful mystery, that still to or beguiling the time remained be told ; whether the whole character broadened and deepened under the pressure of the elemental sadness all this we can never know. And here, I think, lies the deepest tragedy of Rossetti's life. A man of infinite self-will, of intense though limited outlook, sets out upon a certain pilgrimage, with a radiant goal in view, resolutely dis- regarding all that does not at once accommodate itself to his aims and faiths then the vision ; and changes, and he is confronted in the saddest and sternest way with the darkest problems that try and torture the mortal nature. The very gloom of the tragedy lends a deeper augustness to the great figure that slowly moves to meet it. But we may dare to hope that a L] EARLY YEARS 3 soul which, though knit with a temperament open in a singular degree to all the nearer seductions of beauty, kept its gaze resolutely on the ultimate hope, the further issue, the central vision, and which looked so earnestly through the symbol to the force symbolised, must attain in some freer region to the knowledge of the secret, that murmured like a phantom music, in divine, mysterious tones round the clouded earthly tabernacle. Gabriel Charles Dante Eossetti, commonly known as DANTE GABRIEL KOSSETTI, was born on May 12, 1828, at No. 38 Charlotte Street, Portland Place. He was baptized at All Souls Church, Langham Place, according to the rites of the Church of England, his mother being a devoted Anglican, of an Evangelical type in early days, but later holding High Church views. The name Gabriel was his father's name. Charles came from his godfather, Mr. Charles Lyell of Kinnordy, a family friend, a keen student of Italian literature, and father of the celebrated geologist, Sir Charles Lyell. He was called Dante after his father's favourite poet. Rossetti dropped the name Charles in life and it is that one early ; strange who never even visited the land of his ancestors, who, as his brother " says, was always ready to reckon to the discredit of foreigners a certain shallow and frothy demonstrative- ness," who loved the free country of his nativity so well, should have parted with his only English in- heritance. He transposed his other names, that the noble name of Dante might have pre-eminence; and we find him in early manhood writing to his aunt, who addressed him by his legal initials, to ask her to 4 KOSSETTI [CHAP. use the nomenclature that he had permanently adopted. Of his four grandparents, three were pure Italians, Rossetti 1 one English. His father was Gabriele (6. 783), the youngest son of Nicola Rossetti, a blacksmith of Vasto, a town on the Adriatic coast of South Italy. They were simple people : Rossetti's grandmother could neither read nor write. His mother was Frances Mary Lavinia Polidori, daughter of Gaetano Polidori and his wife Anna Maria (Pierce). Gaetano Polidori was the son of a physician of Bientina, a Tuscan town. He was at one time secre- tary to Alfieri, and settling in England in 1789, married Miss Pierce, a governess, and taught Italian. Gabriele Rossetti was a man of active mind, with strong literary tastes, in early days a skilful draughts- man, and always a beautiful reader and reciter. He was an improvisatore, a poet, and in early life librettist to the operatic theatre of San Carlo at Naples, being afterwards a Curator in the Museum of Naples. He was in favour with Murat, King of Naples, and held a secretaryship in the department of public instruction at Rome.

The authoritative biography of Rossetti has yet to be written; and while availing myself fully of such new details as may cast fresh side-lights upon the dominant personalities of the Pre- Raphaelite movement, my aim has rather been to present the main features of that movement in their relation to the larger intellectual tendencies of the age, and to the moral principles which have determined the growth of taste and feeling in the nineteenth century.

  • A Re-Assessment of the Babylonian Goddess in DG Rossetti's Astarte
    LEGITIMIZING THE SENSUOUS FEMALE: A RE-ASSESSMENT OF THE BABYLONIAN GODDESS IN D.G. ROSETTI’S ASTARTE SYRIACA (1875-77)* José María M. Villar Universidad de Jaén RESUMEN Desde una perspectiva revisionista ligada a un análisis interdisciplinar, la presente contribu- ción pretende desestigmatizar la imagen femenina mostrada en la obra pictórico-literaria Astarte Syriaca (1875-77), a menudo vinculada erróneamente al mal o como alusiva a la prostituta babilónica descrita en el Apocalipsis (17:5). Pretendemos demostrar que la diosa rossettiana actúa como representación positiva de las fuerzas mistéricas ligadas al encuentro sexual. Apuntaremos igualmente que el pintor y poeta empleó una serie de referencias bíbli- cas y clásicas de calado distinto al volumen mencionado para construir un aparato legitima- dor que sirviera de apoyo a sus bases programáticas: es en este esquema que la mujer plan- teada por Rossetti se convierte en una entidad nodal que permite a su mensaje artístico cobrar pleno significado. PALABRAS CLAVE: Estudios de la mujer, Prerrafaelismo, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Jane Morris, Astarté. 91 ABSTRACT Adopting a revisionist disposition and following an interdisciplinary pattern of analysis, this paper attempts to unstigmatize the female profile in the double work Astarte Syriaca (1875-77), often deviously regarded as allusive to evil or to the pagan harlot depicted in section 17:5 from the Book of Revelation. Our inquiries seek to demonstrate that the goddess rendered by Rossetti functions as a positive representation of the mysteric forces bound to sexual intercourse. We will also specify that the painter-poet employed a set of biblical and classical references other than the aforementioned volume as a legitimizing apparatus which would serve his own creative and programmatic tenets: it is within this scheme that the Rossettian woman proves a primary nodal entity allowing the aesthetic message to gather full meaning.

Hereford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair Paul Berger Stuart Lingo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History ©Copyright 2015 Kimberly E. Hereford ii University of Washington Abstract Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915 Kimberly E. Hereford Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History This dissertation examines representations in art of the Victorian woman in “altered states.” Though characterized in Victorian art in a number of ways, women are most commonly stereotyped as physically listless and mentally vacuous. The images examined show the Victorian female in a languid and at times reclining or supine pose in these representations. In addition, her demeanor implies both emotional and physical depletion, and there is both a pronounced abandonment of the physical and a collapsing effect, as if all mental faculties are withdrawing inward. Each chapter is dedicated to examining one of these distinct but interrelated types of femininity that flourished throughout British and American art from c. 1850 to c. 1910. The chapters for this dissertation are organized sequentially to demonstrate a selected progression of various states of consciousness, from the most obvious (the sleeping woman) to iii the more nuanced (the female Aesthete and the female medium). In each chapter, there is the visual perception of the Victorian woman as having access to otherworldly conditions of one form or another.

  • Evelyn De Morgan's Female Alchemist in a Figurehead for the Female Artist
    Evelyn De Morgan’s Female Alchemist in The Love Potion: A Figurehead for the Female Artist Gannon __________________________________________________________________________________ Evelyn De Morgan’s Female Alchemist in The Love Potion: A Figurehead for the Female Artist Corinna Gannon Goethe University, Frankfurt Evelyn De Morgan’s enigmatic Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist allegories are informed by multiple artistic movements.1 They have been interpreted against a feminist backdrop due to her status as a female artist in Victorian and Edwardian England and her personal engagement with women’s rights. They have also been studied as a pacifist response to the major horror of her time, war, and in the context of spiritualism, which had the most profound impact on her visual language and will provide the starting point for this essay’s argument.2 She and her husband, William De Morgan, the famous Arts-and-Crafts 1 Her paintings oscillate between late Pre-Raphaelitism, late Romanticism, Victorian Classicism, Aesthesticism, Decadence, and Symbolism.
