In March, Boydell & Brewer will begin publication of "The Correspondence of
Dante Gabriel Rossetti." This is William H. Fredeman's monumental edition
of the Correspondence, which has been in preparation for over 25 years and
which was originally announced for publication by Cambridge University
Press and then Chadwyck-Healey.
Rossetti was at the very heart of artistic and cultural endeavor in the
Victorian period. Both poet and painter, founder of the Pre-Raphaelite
Brotherhood, his correspondents were central figures in both the literary
and artistic world. His letters offer an invaluable documentation of
Victorian cultural life and thought, as well as providing an insight into
both Rossetti's creative process and his critical reception by, and
criticism of, his contemporaries.
When publication is complete, the Correspondence will comprise nine
volumes, divided into three distinct sets, representing different stages in
Rossetti's life. March 2002 sees publication of the first two volumes, "The
Formative Years", which cover the period 1835-1862. In 2003 the next three
volumes, comprising "The Chelsea Years: Prelude to a Crisis" 1863-1872,
will appear. And in 2004, the final four volumes, "The Last Decade
(1873-1882): Kelmscott to Birchington" will appear.
More information on the set, including details of this edition's key
features, is available on our website at http://www.boydell.co.uk/dgr1.htm

The Rossetti Correspondence will be an immensely valuable resource for all
students and researchers with interests including the art, literature and
cultural thought of Victorian England. It will be an important part of any
academic or reference library supporting postgraduate research in
nineteenth-century culture.
