Worldwide Pre-Raphaelitism

Thomas J. Tobin , a Ph.D. in English Literature from Duquesne University, is the Instructional Development Librarian at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. His publications include Pre-Raphaelitism in the Nineteenth-Century Press: A Bibliography.

"Tobin says that he aimed 'to create a good mix of work from scholars and enthusiastic lay persons,' and the result is a readable and fascinating book which looks at Pre-Raphaelitism from an unusual angle." — The Review of the Pre-Raphaelite Society"It is unlikely that there will ever be complete agreement as to the limits of the term Pre-Raphaelitism, but Tobin's book will certainly help the argument to develop." — The Journal of William Morris Studies"As promised by its title, this volume delivers a series of multinational perspectives on Pre-Raphaelitism and the movement's shaping influence on the cultures of the British colonies, continental Europe, and North America … The resulting relationships are strikingly multidimensional; meaning is not only layered in these essays, but also emerges from a diverse array of intersecting horizontal and vertical perspectives." — Victorian Studies"These essays offer great range and depth and provide a global perspective that significantly revises our understanding of Pre-Raphaelitism. They demonstrate Pre-Raphaelitism's continuities with a plethora of discourses and phenomena in world literature and art." — Nicholas Frankel, author of Oscar Wilde's Decorated Books"This book presents a nice balance of literary and art-historical concerns and a wonderful geographical selection that studies the interchanges of this 'English' movement with a number of countries, including Canada, India, the United States, and many in Europe. A fascinating collection." — James Najarian, author of Victorian Keats: Manliness, Sexuality and Desire
