Outsiders looking in; the Rossettis then and now.
English scholars from North America and Europe examine the expatriate Italian family of painters and poets in Victorian England. They consider Italy and Italianness, aesthetics in a commercial world, faith in an age of science, radical poetics, and literary tradition and the Rossetti legacy. The 16 essays are not indexed.
