Internal condition very good. William Michael Rossetti (geb. 25. September 1829 in London; gest. 5. Februar 1919 ebenda) war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Kunstkritiker. Außerdem gehörte er zu den Gründungsmitgliedern der Präraffaeliten. Der Künstler Dante Gabriel Rossetti war sein Bruder. (vgl. Wikipedia). William Michael Rossetti's second book, preceded only by "The Comedy of Dante Allighieri Part I - The Hell" published in 1865. Swinburne's "Poems and Ballads" was published by Edward Moxon in 1866. It was not well received by the press or the public, and so was withdrawn by Moxon. Hotten bought the sheets and re-issued the book, and then proceeded to publish two defences of the work, Swinburne's own, entitled "Notes on Poems and Review" and this one by Rossetti.
