		Rossetti was an Italian patriot exiled from Naples for his political activity and a Dante scholar who became professor of Italian at King's College, London, in 1831.
		Rossetti was also half-Italian, the children (Maria [1827-76], Dante, William Michael [1828-1919], and Christina [1830-94]) grew up fluent in both English and Italian.
		Rossetti published the old poems with his newer ones; they were not well received by some critics because of their eroticism, and he was haunted by the exhumation through the rest of his life.

		Sibling of the famous Dante Gabriel and Christina Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919) was one of the original seven Pre-Raphaelite 'Brothers', keeper of the PRB Journal, editor of the Germ and the glamorous group's 'catalytic agent' and mythmaker.
		William kept these diurnal diaries throughout the central period of his life and into old age, from at least 1866 until 1913 when he was eighty-four.
		When William Rossetti had married the artist Lucy Madox Brown on 31 March 1874, true to their unbelief at St. Pancras Register Office, it was an alliance of two of the most resonant Pre-Raphaelite names.

	Christina Rossetti
		William Michael Rossetti's comment that his sister's "habits of composition were entirely of the casual and spontaneous kind, from her earliest to her latest years" (lxviii) has stimulated much critical discussion.
		Rossetti also refused to be caught up in the "fashionable seances" attended by her brothers, Dante Gabriel and William Michael, in 1864 (Packer 212).
		William Rossetti has attested to the fact that Plato was among Christina's favorite authors: "she read his Dialogues over and over again" (PW lxx); yet the idea that she would consciously depict lesbian love as a means to wholeness and redemption is of course out of the question.

	Dante Gabriel Rossetti -- Biography
		Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti, who later changed the order of his names to stress his kinship with the great Italian poet, was born in London May 12, 1828, to Gabriele and Frances (Polidori) Rossetti.
		After her death Rossetti moved to 16 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, a large house on the Thames which he shared with Swinburne and also (occasionally) his brother William Michael Rossetti and George Meredith.
		Rossetti's choice of models and his idealization of them helped change the concept of feminine beauty in the Victorian period to the tall, thin, long-necked, long-haired stunners of frail health that we see in paintings like Beata Beatrix, Pandora, Proserpine, La Pia, and La Donna della Finestra.

		The painter William Rothenstein remembered him as a man whose "outlook on life was broad and humane," and the only one of the Pre-Raphaelites "who was sympathetic towards the work of younger writers and painters." More recently, Professor W.E.> Fredeman has written of him as "among the P.R.B.s...

		The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was created in 1848 by seven artists: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, James Collinson, John Everett Millais, Frederic George Stephens, and Thomas Woolner.
		Their goal was to develop a naturalistic style of art, throwing away the rules and conventions drilled into students' heads at the Academies.
		Rossetti and his friends did not decry the noble idealism of Raphael himself, but they felt that in trying to follow his grand style the art of their own time had become too abstract and conventional.

	PRE-RAPHAELITE GALLERY
		As William Michael Rossetti wrote in 1901, its aim was no more specific than that 'an artist, whether painter or writer, ought to be bent upon defining and expressing his own personal thoughts, and that they ought to be based upon a direct study of Nature, and harmonised with her manifestations.'
		Of the seven founding members, only three are of serious note as painters: William Holman Hunt (1827-1910), Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-82) and John Everett Millais (1829-96).
		But the Pre-Raphaelites lived in the Victorian era, and it was inevitable that the forms of the medieval world became a clothes-horse for the artist on which he could hang a few colourful garments and arcane beliefs.
