[edit] Jane Burden Affair
Shouldn't there be some mention of his affair with Jane Burden?! It did go on for years and she was William Morris' wife! Morris even moved out and Rossetti moved into his house!!! (a5y 19:26, 29 March 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Exhumation
I vaguely recall some story of the wife's exhumed corpse being amazingly and startlingly preserved; does anyone have a source for this? — Stumps 07:23, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blake
I think there should be something about the inspiration he took from William Blake and the important part he played in the re-discovery of Blake's works, his acquisition of Blake's notebook, possibly?
[edit] Lady Lilith
Could I request someone to add that famous painting here & maybe a section on his contributation to feminism & her modern conception?[1](I'm sure the copyright is the same as his other paintings.) At least one on his role in feminism would be nice. Xuchilbara 01:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Age of Innocence
Am I right in thinking that it is Rossetti's "The House of Life" that is referred to in Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence? The line is as follows (p. 138 in my edition):
"Suddenly, among them, he lit on a small volume of verse which he had ordered because the name had attracted him: 'The House of Life.' He took it up, and found himself plunged in an atmosphere unlike any he had ever breathed in books; so warm, so rich, and yet so ineffably tender, that it gave a new and haunting beauty to the most elementary of human passions."
If someone can confirm this, please tell me. It could also be interesting to add it to the article. Thanks -- hibou 20:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] MISSING: Dante's Inferno by Ken Russell
It's interesting sometimes, the omissions one finds. There was a mini-film (apparently from TV) about Dante Gabriel Rossetti was used in a class I took in college, and I loved it: Omnibus, Dante's Inferno (1967), but references to it in this article on DGR omit it, and it doesn't come up easily as a film in Wikipedia, or in IMDB.COM
The film used innovative visual, musical, and symbolic means to illustrate the artist and the Pre-Raphealites, while Oliver Reed played Dante with brooding genius and demon haunted greatness. WHY, oh why is this not put on DVD? I hope wiki-gods that be will be sure to see that references to this film show up somewhere, before all memory of it is lost.

[edit] Version 0.7
Although I love Rossetti's work, I don't think this article is yet strong enough to be included in Version 0.7. Hopefully it can be renominated when there is more content and better sourcing. Thanks, Walkerma 06:07, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
