The Poetry of Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Vol I: "Love is the last relay and ultimate outpost of eternity"

A key figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Dante Gabriel Rossetti was deeply influenced by his artistic family and medieval Italian art. His early education and literary interests shaped his dual career as a poet and painter. Rossetti's relationships, particularly with William Morris and Jane Morris, were marked by complexity and passion, reflected in his poetry. His works, including sonnets accompanying his paintings, explored themes of love and spirituality. His later years were troubled by health issues, leading to his untimely death in 1882.
