Rome '44

Publisher

'This old dreamy place,' as Washington Irving called it, is surely one of the loveliest buildings in the world. With its superb gardens, courtyards and fountains, it has inspired writers, architects, designers, artist and musicians. Almost immediately after the expulsion of the Moors in 1492 by the Catholic Kings, Fernando and Isabel, it become the place of legend, chivalry and romance. Yet the architects of the Alhambra were regarded as usurpers from the moment the first Muslim army set foot in Spain in AD 711. Raleigh Trevelyan's elegant text and wealth of illustrations tell the story of the conquest of the Moorish kingdom of Granada and the effect the Alhambra has had on the imagination over the centuries.

Tennyson and Holman Hunt, Carlyles, Rossettis and any number of celebrated Trevelyans people these pages; and Mr Trevelyan's handling of their comings and goings is masterly.' Hilary Spurling Pauline Trevelyan, friend and patroness of so many in the Pre-Raphaelite circle, played an important part in the lives of Ruskin and Swinburne in the 1850s and 1860s. Some mischievous biographers have even claimed that Swinburne fell in love with her. For long she has been an intriguing, not to say mysterious, figure to those interested in the artistic and literary life of the period. She spotted Swinburne as a potential genius when he was still a schoolboy; as scandal enveloped him she did not flinch from speaking out frankly. The daughter of a poor and learned parson, she was married to Sir Walter Calverley Trevelyan, twenty years her senior, a strange, tall, taciturn landowner-cum-scientist, and her opposite in character. Herself an artist, writer and critic, she commissioned important works from Rossetti, Woolner and others. From her immense correspondence, scarcely examined before this book was published, we learn much more about John Ruskin. Ruskin's marriage in particular has always attracted great attention. It was feared, however, that the secrets surrounding its breakdown would never be fully known. Then a candid letter from Ruskin to a friend was suddenly unearthed. This so excited historians that this new edition of A Pre-Raphaelite Circle was published to include the letter in full, with all its revelations, making this important book a crucial work of reference for those interested in Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites who surrounded Lady Trevelyan.
