About this title

Synopsis

A beautiful and unique poetry chapbook, to be given instead of a greeting card. Designed and printed on high quality, tactile paper and packaged with a bookmark `left blank for your message' as well as an envelope, you need only a stamp to send this lovely gift on its way. Delightful and intellectually gratifying, this beautiful chapbook offers poems that are worthwhile, profound, and exhilarating to read. The Pre-Raphaelites were radicals; they took the mid-nineteenth century by storm with their paintings and poems that both harked back to the Middle Ages for inspiration and also tried to be unflinchingly honest in their `truth to Nature'. As Dr Ruth Robbins points out in her Introduction, they shocked Victorian audiences with their open expressions of emotion and sensuality. They created a new and extraordinary aesthetic, and were of central importance to the emerging Arts and Crafts Movement. Poems by William Morris, Christina Rossetti, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Algernon Swinburne.
