Publisher's Synopsis
The Blessed Damozel is a poem written by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1850, which was later illustrated and published as a book in 1905. The poem tells the story of a young woman who has died and gone to heaven, where she waits for her lover to join her. The narrator describes the woman's beauty and her longing for her lover, who is still living on earth. The poem is divided into two parts, with the first part describing the woman's heavenly surroundings and the second part focusing on her yearning for her lover. The illustrations in the book were created by Rossetti himself, and they depict scenes from the poem, including the woman's ascension to heaven and her waiting for her lover. The Blessed Damozel is considered one of Rossetti's most famous works and is a classic example of Victorian poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
