'This well-researched and erudite book will appeal to both Rossetti specialists and a broader audience of Victorian scholars. Dealing with both art and literature, Reading Dante Gabriel Rossetti excels in close visual and textual readings and offers fresh insights into the work of the painter-poet.' Amelia Yeates, Liverpool Hope University, UK

Using Donnelly's example, other themes in Rossetti's considerable corpus of written and painted work might be treated in this way, and Donnelly's book will certainly be welcomed as a major development in Rossetti studies.' - J.B. Bullen, Journal of Pre-Raphaelite Studies
