The poetry of Christina Rossetti is often described as 'gothic' and yet this term has rarely been examined in the specific case of Rossetti's work. Based on new readings of the full range of her writings, from 'Goblin Market' to the devotional poems and prose works, this book explores Rossetti's use of Gothic forms and images to consider her as a Gothic writer. Christina Rossetti's Gothic analyses the poet's use of the grotesque and the spectral and the Christian roots and Pre-Raphaelite influences of Rossetti's deployment of Gothic tropes.

Insanity and the Lunatic Asylum in the Nineteenth Century

By: Thomas Knowles,Serena Trowbridge

The nineteenth-century asylum was the scene of both terrible abuses and significant advancements in treatment and care. The essays in this collection look at the asylum from the perspective of the place itself – its architecture, funding and purpose – and at the experience of those who were sent there.

Labour of the Stitch

The Making and Remaking of Fashionable Georgian Dress

By: Serena Dyer

The making of fashionable women's dress in Georgian England necessitated an inordinate amount of manual labour. From the mantuamakers and seamstresses who wrought lengths of silk and linen into garments, to the artists and engravers who disseminated and immortalised the resulting outfits in print and on paper, Georgian garments were the products of many busy hands. This Element centres the sartorial hand as a point of connection across the trades which generated fashionable dress in the eighteenth century. Crucially, it engages with recreation methodologies to explore how the agency and skill of the stitching hand can inform understandings of craft, industry, gender, and labour in the eighteenth century. The labour of stitching, along with printmaking, drawing, and painting, composed a comprehensive culture of making and manual labour which, together, constructed eighteenth-century cultures of fashionable dress.

Book Description: The lighthouse gave hope to sailors for over a hundred years. Now, decommissioned and out of service, it sits broken and abandoned on the shores of Manitoulin Island. Moriah Robertson, co-owner and handywoman of an adjacent fishing resort, is determined to purchase and restore the lighthouse that sheltered five generations of Robertson lightkeepers. She’s worked many long hours to save enough money to purchase it, hoping the government has accepted her fair offer. As she waits, Ben, a Master Stonemason, rents a cabin from her for the summer. It feels like a gift from God when she discovers that Ben has the hard-to-find skills necessary to restore “her” lighthouse. Unfortunately, Ben is harboring a secret that will break Moriah’s heart. Ben is the right man for the job, but is he the right man for Moriah? Author Bio: USA Today Best-Selling Author Serena B.

Pre-Raphaelite Masculinities

Constructions of Masculinity in Art and Literature

By: Serena Trowbridge,Amelia Yeates

Drawing on recent theoretical developments in gender and men?s studies, Pre-Raphaelite Masculinities shows how the ideas and models of masculinity were constructed in the work of artists and writers associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Paying particular attention to the representation of non-normative or alternative masculinities, the contributors take up the multiple versions of masculinity in Dante Gabriel Rossetti?s paintings and poetry, masculine violence in William Morris?s late romances, nineteenth-century masculinity and the medical narrative in Ford Madox Brown?s Cromwell on His Farm, accusations of ?perversion? directed at Edward Burne-Jones?s work, performative masculinity and William Bell Scott?s frescoes, the representations of masculinity in Pre-Raphaelite illustration, aspects of male chastity in poetry and art, Tannh?er as a model for Victorian manhood, and masculinity and British imperialism in Holman Hunt?s The Light of the World. Taken together, these essays demonstrate the far-reaching effects of the plurality of masculinities that pervade the art and literature of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood."--Provided by publisher.
