In The Pre-Raphaelites at Home Pamela Todd conjures a vivid impression of the lives of Rossetti, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt and their immediate circle. We learn how and where they lived and, crucially, with whom, in this study of the intimate framework of their social arrangements. Thoroughly researched and beautifully presented, this book fully exploits extensive collections of poetry and prose, as well as probing the revealing contents of diaries and letters of the period. Appropriately, many superb reproductions of the great Pre-Raphaelite masterpieces accompany the narrative.
