Outsiders Looking In: The Rossettis Then and Now

Description

This new interdisciplinary collection of writing explores the achievements of the Rossettis in the context of the Victorian era and in the light of modern cultural and literary criticism. 'Outsiders Looking In' considers the position that the Anglo-Italian Rossettis occupied in the cultural melee of mid-Victorian London, a status that was both central and fringe owing to their dual nationality.

David Clifford is a Lecturer and Fellow of Homerton College, Cambridge. Laurence Roussillon is Maitre de Conference in Nineteenth-Century British Literature at the University of Louis Lumiere, Lyon 2, France.

'This is a satisfying collection in which all the essays present original material which helps shed light on English culture in the nineteenth century.' -'The Burlington Magazine'
