Marsh attempts to delineate the true story of Elizabeth Siddal as an artist in her own right separated from the ubiquitous historical images. Examples are drawn from the Freudian revolution in the 1920s, the cinematic melodrama of the 1930s, the social awakening of the 1940s and the sexual liberation of the 1960s. Each of these eras fostered its own Elizabeth Siddal myth, and in the process the coppery-haired poet and painter changes from suicidal waif to ideal gentlewoman to feminist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quartet Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018151608560,"sku":"9780704371934","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780704371934_p0.jpg?v=1763619479","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780704371934","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
