Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood: References & Edit History

Tim Barringer, The Pre-Raphaelites: Reading the Image (1998; also published as Reading the Pre-Raphaelites, 1999), is a good general source. The most comprehensive study of the group is Leslie Parris (ed.), The Pre-Raphaelites (1984, reprinted 1994). Stephen Wildman, Jan Marsh, and John Christian, Visions of Love and Life: Pre-Raphaelite Art from the Birmingham Collection, England (1995), provides a fresh look at the movement. William Michael Rossetti (ed.), Pre-Raphaelite Diaries and Letters (1900, reissued 1974), provides original writings key to understanding the formation of the movement. Another useful source for original documentation is Carolyn Hares-Stryker (ed.), An Anthology of Pre-Raphaelite Writings (1997). Specific aspects of the Pre-Raphaelites are discussed in Benedict Read and Joanna Barnes (eds.), Pre-Raphaelite Sculpture: Nature and Imagination in British Sculpture, 1848–1914 (1991); and Jan Marsh and Pamela Gerrish Nunn, Pre-Raphaelite Women Artists (1997, reissued 1999).
