- More about Rossetti: His Life and Works
Evelyn Waugh's first book is a portrait of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, one of the greatest artists of the nineteenth century, from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. It is a brilliant reevaluation of Rosetti's work and legacy, as well as a blast of defiance against the art establishment of Waugh's day. The youthful high spirits of the writing make it a true cultural delight.

Evelyn Waugh's debut book is a captivating portrait of one of the greatest artists of the 19th century, written by one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Biographies, as books about the dead are whimsically cataloged, are still very much in vogue. This is a sparkling account of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's tragic and mysterious life, revealing the story behind some of the greatest poetry and painting of the 19th century. Shot through with charm and dry wit, and illuminated by his sense of kinship with the Pre-Raphaelite artist, Rossetti is a brilliant reevaluation of Rosetti's work and legacy, as well as a blast of defiance against the art establishment of Waugh's day. The youthful high spirits of the writing make this a true cultural delight.
