Extremely Informative insight into the movement
A detailed and revealing approach to the Pre-Raphaelite movement, including a multitude of the works accompanied by an analytical overview of each. It gives indepth information of each of the main figures involved in or associated with the movement.

This was a wonderful glimpse into the lifetime of this age!
The pictures and summery into the lives of the artists themselves was wonderful and extreme. I never realized how moving a story about someones life could be. It moves you and draws you into the story.
