This outstanding anthology presents the most inspired verse of the the Pre-Raphaelite movement — a treasury of poems that resounds with a lush musicality of language. The poetry of Dante Gabriel Rossetti crowns this collection: highlights include "e;The Blessed Damozel,"e; "e;My Sister's Sleep,"e; and selections from The House of Life. Christina Rossetti is amply represented by "e;Remember,"e; "e;Cousin Kate,"e; "e;Song,"e; "e;The Convent Threshold,"e; and other memorable poems. Algernon Charles Swinburne's "e;The Garden of Proserpine"e; and William Morris' "e;The Haystack in the Floods"e; appear here, along with George Meredith's "e;Lucifer by Starlight"e; and selections from Modern Love.
