| 1. |  | The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites
from Princeton University Press
Price: $36.23
Customer Review:
Elizabeth Prettejohn introduces her thesis in the Prologue and continues to weave it throughout her sumptuously illustrated "The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites." It is her contention that Pre-Raphaelite art should not be dismissed from the history of modern art but should constitute one of the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. | ![]() | The Pre-Raphaelites and Their Circle (A Phoenix Book)
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $30.00
Customer Review:
I have been using this book in my course on Victorian pictures and writing for over twenty years. It is exceptional in the extensiveness of its contents, the accuracy of its texts, and the suggestive richness of its notes. This is one of the finest anthologies of mid-Victorian poetry now available. | 5.0 / 5.0

from Seven Dials
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
This is a lovely book about the Pre-Raphaelites. The pictures in the book are beautiful, & I like the way the Pre-Raphaelite movement is broken up into sections showing how it progressed & changed through the years. A very informative book. | 5.0 / 5.0

| 4. | ![]() | Pre-Raphaelites
from Phaidon Press Ltd
Customer Review:
This book contains 88 illustrations, 51 of which are full-color. The book is 127 pages (to give you an idea of art-to-script ratio). After a 20-page essay (with historical photographs) on the Pre-Raphaelites, a selection of their works follows. Every other page is a full-page color print.

| 5. |  | Reading the Pre-Raphaelites
from Yale University Press
Price: $25.00
Customer Review:
"Reading the Pre-Raphaelites" has been on the market for five years now (as of 2004), and continues to hold up well as an introduction to Pre-Raphaelite painting. People who are already familiar with Pre-Raphaelite Art (and its copious bibliography!) will not find too much here that is new, but for... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Pre-Raphaelites at Home
from Watson-Guptill Publications
Customer Review:
This book isn't an introductory or comprehensive tome on the PreRaphaelites but I agree with the other reviewers -- it's a delightful, engaging read that fills in lots of blanks. The more you know about the PRB, the more you'll appreciate this book. Without being too dry or too gossipy, it provides... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 7. | ![]() | Pre Raphaelites
from Oxford Univ Pr (Sd)
Customer Review:
Quite what the one-issue fixated rant below has to do with this book I don't know. Why Mr. Johnson thinks Hilton and Barringer - writing books about ART - should discuss in any detail the work of Christina Rossetti, a poet who never drew or painted, I don't know. The fact is that the most important... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Pre-Raphaelites in Love
from Quality Paperback Book Club
Customer Review:
Fact that reads like fiction is my favorite genre - and this book is it: pet elephants in London apartments, exhumed beauties, a long married virgin and of course plenty of sex and drugs. Daly gives biographies of the artists with emphasis on their love lives and how that tied in with their... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Discoveries: Preraphaelites: Romance and Realism (Discoveries (Abrams))
from Harry N. Abrams
Price: $11.01
Customer Review:
This pretty, glossy little book is filled with paintings and interesting information. It might not be very meaty, or the most complete source of information on Pre-Raphaelites, but it's a good source for a quick history of the movement and its major players. | 5.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Pre-Raphaelite Cats
from Thames & Hudson
Price: $15.96
Customer Review:
This was a nice edition, and I knew it would make a nice addition to my friend's "cat library." The artist and subject were pre-sold from earlier publications, such as Shakespeare Cats, and this particular production did not let me down -- I knew when I saw it she'd be delighted with her late... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
