Informationen zum Autor Elizabeth Prettejohn is Professor of History of Art at the University of Bristol. Klappentext A general introduction to the Pre-Raphaelite movement, treating both literature and visual art. "Though their art has been intensely studied in numerous exhibitions and monographs over the last several decades, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) has never been wholeheartedly embraced, its critics finding the work amateurish, provincial, or representative f English bizarrerie. Editor Prettejohn states that one purpose of the 17 essays collected here is to establish the movement as the first modernist avant-garde, with all the elements of redefinition of tradition and purposeful assertion that the term suggests." --Journal Zusammenfassung This is the first book to provide a general introduction to the Pre-Raphaelite movement that integrates its literary and visual art forms and explains what made the Pre-Raphaelite style unique in painting! poetry! drawing and prose.
