The House of Life

The book on Ancient, Classical, and Medieval Poetry begins with epic poetry from ancient Babylonia and Greece. Poetry did not grow during the Middle Ages, but it saw a renaissance during the Renaissance. Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti, often known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was a member of the Rossetti family and an English poet, illustrator, painter, and translator. With William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais, he created the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848. Rossetti went on to become a key inspiration for the movement's second generation of painters and authors, most notably William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. His art impacted European Symbolists and he was a key figure in the Aesthetics movement.
