First edition
The Pre-Raphaelite Tragedy (Folio Society edition) recounts the passionate, intertwined lives of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood—particularly Dante Gabriel Rossetti, his wife and muse Elizabeth Siddal, and their circle—tracing how artistic ambition, obsessive love, and personal instability led to emotional and literal tragedy; it explores Siddal’s fragile health and untimely death, Rossetti’s grief-driven decline and fixation on beauty and mortality, and the broader tensions within the movement as ideals of art, romance, and authenticity collided with the psychological costs borne by its central figures, ultimately portraying a richly detailed, intimate portrait of creativity shadowed by loss.
