4.9/5 (34978 ratings)

Description:Immortalized in the sensuous paintings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and widely imitated by fashionable women, Jane Morris (1839-1914)was, nonetheless, not your typical Victorian beauty. Her unruly dark hair,dense brows, tall and angular figure, and taste for loose, unadornedgarments stood out in an age that favored fair-haired women of smallstature, with feminine curves exaggerated by corsets and crinolines. Drawingon dozens of lavish portraits and rare photographs, author Debra Mancoffexamines Jane Morris's "strange beauty" within the context of Pre-Raphaeliteaesthetic ideals and Victorian standards of fashion. The chronologicalnarrative traces Morris's rise from an eighteen-year-old working-classOxford girl to a virtual "supermodel" for the Pre-Raphaelites, focusing inparticular on her relationships with artist-designer William Morris, whomshe married in 1859, and Rossetti, with whom she shared a lifelong romance.Part biography, part art history, and part cultural study, Jane Morris: ThePre-Raphaelite Model of Beauty is an intriguing, informed account of thePre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the woman whose oft-painted image became anicon of romantic beauty.
