The Romantic Victorian: Dante Gabriel Rossetti

For our British Literature II multimedia project for the spring semester 1996 at Houston Community College, we chose to explicate Dante Gabriel Rossetti's "The Blessed Damozel." Along with the explication, our project contains biography and milieu sections plus a look at the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Our project is finalized by Christina Rossetti's tribute poem to her brother.

The members of our group are Mandy Canales, Melissa Dupre, Carol Keller and Cathy Tilley. We hope the information and pictures presented in our project will be both informative and educational. So please, sit back and enjoy yourselves as we present Dante Gabriel Rossetti, his Blessed Damozel, and his life and times.
