Of the two parents and three siblings, Dante Gabriel (1828–82) and Christina (1830–94) stood out, but throughout their lives they remained a tightly-knit unit. William Michael (1829–1919), who published this two-volume work in 1895, was the family record keeper and in the memoir of his brother we have an unmatched account of the family dynamic. He was not always candid about his brother's affairs but his biography is unparalleled for its fresh directness. Unlike all subsequent biographers, William wrote from the inside, and even if he was unable to tell the whole story, the intimate details of the day-to-day life of the great painter and poet have about them the ring of truth and authenticity. Volume 2 contains hundreds of Dante's letters to his family, with helpful explanatory notes by William.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eLetters A\u003cbr\u003e Letters B\u003cbr\u003e Letters C\u003cbr\u003e Letters D\u003cbr\u003e Letters E\u003cbr\u003e Letters F\u003cbr\u003e Letters G\u003cbr\u003e Letters H.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: The arts: general issues [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on The arts: general issues\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22The%20arts:%20general%20issues%20%5BAB%5D%22\"\u003eAB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266099663128,"sku":"9781108052061","price":38.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108052061i_65a63649-0280-4d53-932a-491f31e9907d.jpg?v=1696747098","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dante-gabriel-rossetti-his-family-letters-with-a-memoir-by-william-michael-rossetti-paperback-9781108052061","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
