Præraphaelite diaries and letters
William Michael Rossetti, the surviving brother of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, assembled this volume in 1900 from papers in his keeping. It contains the early letters of Dante Gabriel Rossetti from boyhood to 1854, the diary and some letters of the painter Ford Madox Brown covering 1847 to 1856, and the journal of the Brotherhood itself, which W. M. Rossetti kept as its secretary from 1849 to 1853. Together they record the movement from the inside: studio gossip, money troubles, Brown's grief for his first wife, the reception of pictures that are now in national galleries. It is a primary source rather than a narrative, and the editor's notes identify the people as they appear. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
