IF you've recently seen the tv series Desperate Romantics and want to know a bit more about the Pre-Raphealite Brotherhood (PRB) then this is a good place to start. It's gripping, exciting and eminently readable. If anything, you'll find that the PRB were wilder and more outrageous in real life than anything which can be portrayed on film.It traces the private lives (and less closely) the careers of the three main PRB members as seen in the programme (Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais) and also includes other members who were not featured much or at all like Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris and William Rossetti. It also charts the rise and fall of the women in their lives (and there were many!) and who were just as interesting in their own right: Lizzie Siddall, Annie Miller, Fanny Cornforth, Ruth Herbert, Georgiana Burne-Jones etc.John Ruskin is the lynchpin which holds the text together because as well as being an early promoter and patron of the group before they were really accepted my the establishment his life became painfully intwined with theirs.Franny Moyle writes in an engagin style and I was gripped from the beginning. It's better than a novel!

I was drawn to this book after loving the series of the same name (and having Aidan Turner on the cover is no hardship either!) and found it a really good introduction to the art of the Pre-Raphaelites and their various hangers on. Franny Moyle has written a fascinating, easy to read book that makes art history accessible to people like me who have no idea about art but are interested in history. Moyle has also popped up on a couple of programmes I have seen about the Pre-Raphaelites as an historical consultant, so she clearly knows her stuff. What makes this book a joy to read is that she doesn't patronise as she writes. I've recommended this book to quite a few people.The characters are beautifully written and the various narratives of the people are told in a way that is easy to follow and understand. I also found that I was interested enough by the book to continue reading other books about this movement and to seek out the paintings and poetry written by the artists.A really good first step into understanding who the Pre-Raphaelites were and why they're important to British art (and a thoroughly good read!)

I came to read this book after my imagination was captured by the TV series of the same name. I was interested to read the facts behind the fictionalised drama I had been watching, and to learn more about the work of the PRB generally.I found this book instantly engaging in style. Although not simplistic, the tone is light and pacy rather than academic. Moyle does not assume any pre-existing knowledge of art, artists, the historical or sociological context, and provides context as the book goes along, in very small doses. She covers a lot of ground, as the book follows numerous personalities, their work and influences, from youth to death, and all in a volume about the same size as your average novel. Ruskin and Rossetti are probably given most coverage, and the book does tend to emphasise the more "rock star" aspects of the PRB, though this isn't necessarily a bad thing as it is quite fascinating. Some of the paintings are discussed, in terms of the symbolism and motivation behind the choice of subject, and there are some colour plates, which are helpful to illustrate the points Moyle is making. No one aspect of the PRB is covered exhaustively, but this keeps the pace of the book moving, and also provides the reader with scope to follow up their own areas of interest afterwards should they choose to.I would expect that if you are already an expert in the field then this book would probably not offer you any new insight. As far as I can see it is a drawing together of existing research and knowledge filtered and coloured, as with any biographical work, by the preferences and opinions of the writer.I loved this book. I expected to enjoy reading about the individuals involved in the PRB, and the book delivered on that point. What I didn't expect was that it has made me look at art in a different way. My academic background is in literature, and though I have visited lots of galleries and enjoyed looking at paintings, I've never really felt that I understood art very well. The book opened my eyes to the idea of "reading" a painting much as I would read a poem. This probably sounds really obvious, but I'd never thought of it that way before, so I think reading this book will increase my general enjoyment of art in the future.The only improvement to the book would have been more and larger colour plates, but I guess there would be a cost implication to that!
