In an Artist's Studio

This COVE edition of Christina Rossetti’s “In an Artist’s Studio" will attempt what Dino Franco Felluga, the lead editor, is calling—inspired by Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s “The Sonnet"—a “momentous edition.” The original annotations were assembled during an otherwise ephemeral close-reading session: at the NAVSA/AVSA NYU/Purdue conference at La Pietra in Florence, Italy (May 2017). The collective annotation project was then augmented over the year following the conference. 

Old Nichol Slum

One of London’s most notorious slums by the end of the nineteenth century, Old Nichol Slum was located in the east end, between High Street, Shoreditch, and Hackney Road in the north, and Spitalfields in the south.

Wych Street

Demolished around 1901, Wych Street stretched westward from the church of St. Clement Danes on the Strand and intersected with the southern end of Drury Lane at the Olympic Theatre, just north of the Strand.

Church Lane

Church Lane, which ran between High Street and New Oxford Street in Holborn, was a notorious slum in the mid-nineteenth century. In 1877, John Thomson wrote in his Victorian London Street Life in Historic Photos that most houses on either side of Church Lane had been cleared.
