{"product_id":"9780226228389","title":"The Pre-Raphaelites and Their Circle","description":"This useful volume presents the major works of the five leading Pre-Raphaelite poets. Foremost in the collection, and included in their entirety are D. G. Rossetti's \u003ci\u003eThe House of Life\u003c\/i\u003e, C. G. Rossetti's \"Monna Innominata,\" William Morris's \"Defence of Guenevere,\" Swinburne's \u003ci\u003eAtalanta in Calydon\u003c\/i\u003e, and Meredith's \"Modern Love.\" Complementing these major poems is a fine, generous selection of the poets' shorter pieces that are typical of their work as a whole. For this second edition, Cecil Lang has substituted two early Swinburne poems, \"The Leper\" and \"Anactoria,\" for Fitzgerald's \u003ci\u003eThe Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám\u003c\/i\u003e. These poems, which the editor describes as \"shocking,\" show a new aspect of Swinburne not discussed previously.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Lang's Introduction describes briefly the founding of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, discusses each of the Pre-Raphaelite poets, both individually and in relation to the others, and grapples with the questions of definition of Pre-Raphaelitism and the similarities between its painting and poetry. The book is appropriately illustrated with thirty-two works by D. G. Rossetti, John Ruskin, William H. Hunt, and other Pre-Raphaelite artists.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This is the only anthology available that provides a representative selection of the work of these important poets. It will be indispensable to students of Victorian poetry and appreciated by readers interested in the Pre-Raphaelites.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111379779824,"sku":"9780226228389","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780226228389_p0.jpg?v=1763674713","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780226228389","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
