“Handsome publication”— Ian Lipke, <i>Queensland Reviewers Collective</i><br /><br />“This lovely-looking book explores Christina Rossetti’s artistic context in new and unexpected ways.” —Aileen Reid, <i>World of Interiors</i><br /><br />“The catalogue for the recent exhibition at the Watts Gallery, <i>Christina Rossetti: Poetry in art,</i> brings together many surprising items from public and private collections to reveal unusual aspects of the poet's life and work. […] The scholarly work of the editors and contributors and the book's many illustrations greatly expand our knowledge of Christina Rossetti and her widening circle.” —Lindsay Duguid,<i> Times Literary Supplement</i><br /><br />“The volume is abundantly illustrated and provides a satisfying contribution to the study of an immensely complex poet and an aspect of 19th century art with which she is unavoidably intertwined” —Tom Fleming, <i>Apollo Magazine</i><br /><br />“Her influence on other artists is shown both in the exhibition and in the beautiful accompanying book – far more than a catalogue – <i>Christina Rossetti: Poetry in Ar</i>t. We see her impact in their illustrations for different editions of her books of poetry, and the many paintings inspired by her poems, such as Arthur Hughes’s The Mower, while in art photography, Julia Margaret Cameron based her charming The Minstrel Group on one of her poems.” —David V Barrett, <i>Catholic Herald</i><br /><br />“Throughout, handsome design and well-placed illustrations make this a pleasing, fresh addition to the literature on Victorian art, poetry and aesthetics.” —Frances Spalding,<i> Literary Review</i><br /><br />“Handsome book” —Jeremy Musson, <i>Country Life</i><br /><br /><p>“The volume now published by Yale University Press, in relation with an exhibition on display at the Watts Gallery in Compton does manage to shed some new light on a largely overlapping subject.” —Laurent Bury, <i>Cercles</i></p><br /><br />“[A]n accessible, wide-ranging and beautifully presented introduction to the visual contexts of Rossetti’s work…[which] honours the established view that her poetry participates in a lively interplay with the visual arts, offering an alluring record of a beautiful exhibition.”—Fiona Macdonald,<i> The Journal of Religious History</i><br /><br />Long listed for the Historians of British Art Book Prize<br /><br />
