Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Vol. 1: His Family-Letters; With a Memoir
The letters, such as they are, shall be left to speak mainly for themselves. Their language is constantly unadorned, often colloquial; the tone of mind in them, concentrated; the feeling, while solid and sincere, uneffusive. Their subject-matter is very generally personal to the writer, without discursiveness of outlook, or eloquent or picturesque description; yet the spirit is not egotistical or self-assertive. If I am wrong in these opinions, the reader will decide the point for himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
