Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Blessed Damozel
Then came, in 1850, the short-lived organ of that enthusiastic few, The Germ, which lasted through four numbers, and in this transitory expression of pre-raphaelite aims, creed and conscience the Damozel, with several other of Rossetti' 3 poems, first held converse with the world. The Germ was really an official manifesto or apologia of pre-raphaelitism all that it had to preach was the noble doctrine of the sacredness, the saving grace, of conscience in art.
