This book is clearly the result of a long and complete research of the role played by drawing in the movement. It is, I dare to say, an obligated reference to understand the brotherhood, their way to observe nature, their motivations and their use of outline, just to mention some of the important issues that are masterly discussed by Colin Cruise along this beautiful book.

A hugely informative and well written book. Cruise talks to the newcomer and the scholar as he offers many insightful readings and interpretations of Pre-Raphaelite work. More considerations can be found here:
