The Fleshly School of Poetry and Other Phenomena of the Day 1872
Buchanan, Robert
The Fleshly School of Poetry and Other Phenomena of the Day 1872
Celebrated and influential, if not scathing treatise accusing the Pre-Raphaelite artists of, among other things, immorality, and perhaps helping to increase PRB exposure through subsequent exposure and dialogue. Most notably in this regard was D.G. Rossetti's rebuttal which came in the form of a letter in the Athenaeum entitled, "The Stealthy School of Criticism."
Tipped poor Rossetti over the edge.
