About this book

In an era marked by artistic rebellion and the quest for authenticity, "Pre-Raphaelite and Other Poets" by Lafcadio Hearn delves into the profound contributions of late 19th-century poets, particularly those aligned with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This collection, meticulously edited by John Erskine, offers critical insights into the movement's emphasis on beauty and emotional depth, showcasing Hearn's unique perspective on poetic innovation. Readers will discover the interplay between aesthetic ideals and the poets' fervent rejection of conventional norms, as well as the exploration of themes such as unalienable rights to artistic expression. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this volume illuminates the transformative power of poetry in shaping cultural discourse.
