Book Description:

Few collections of verse have been associated with such drama as these poems, published by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-82) in 1870. Following attacks on their explicit content, Rossetti broke down and attempted suicide. Behind the sensation, however, lies Rossetti's subtle intelligence attempting to find modes of expression for the central importance of the libido.
