Synopsis
First U.S. Edition. Jan Marsh tells the fascinating stories of the real women associated with the Pre-Raphaelite artists--Elizabeth Siddal, Emma Brown, Annie Miller, Fanny Cornforth, Jane Morris, and Georgiana Burne-Jones--individuals who worked hard to become artists and poets in their own right. The book includes 49 black-and-white illustrations. The dust jacket of this copy is slightly worn with scratches on the back and two small closed tears at the head of the spine. Otherwise this copy shows minimal wear and soiling. vi , viii, 408 pages plus a section of illustrations following page 184. cloth. 8vo.

Reviews
This absorbing work, undiminished by its clear but reasoned feminist approach, is essential for serious collections in art history, women's studies, or literature. Three carefully researched chapters (``Youth,'' ``Marriage,'' ``Maturity'') reconstruct the forgotten lives of six women who were integral to the pre-Raphaelite movement. Elizabeth Sidall, Emma Madox Borwn, Annie Miller, Fanny Cornforth, Janey Morris, and Georgiana Burne-Jones are validated as individuals with their own lives and creative needs, not simply as romanticized adjuncts to their better-known male companions. Interestingly enough, despite their putative beauty and allure, these women were often chosen as models because of their plainness or availability; yet they became the Victorian feminine ideal. Recommended. Robin Kaplan, M.L.S., The Information Group, Los Angeles
