Desperate Romantics
the private lives of the Pre-Raphaelites
by Franny Moyle
Their Bohemian lifestyle and intertwined love affairs shockingly broke 19th century class barriers and bent the rules that governed the roles of the sexes. They became defined by love triangles, played out against the austere moral climate of Victorian England; they outraged their contemporaries with their loves, jealousies and betrayals, and they stunned society when their complex moral choices led to madness and suicide, or when their permissive experiments ended in addiction and death. The characters are huge and vivid and remain as compelling today as they were in their own time.
