This page will examine the work of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and specifically his poem Jenny. Rossetti was an extremely influential English artist and poet of the Victorian Era. As a founder of the Pre Raphaelites movement, Rossetti aimed to break free from the idealistic and “rigid” structure of traditional Victorian art.
This is a project-in-process. It will feature annotated texts of Victorian ghost stories, with accompanying elements such as editorial introductions and an associated exhibit of visual texts for each narrative. Editorial teams are composed of undergraduate students in the department of English at JMU, fall 2024.
