Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s “double works of art” are intensely challenging works of art and literature. Typically, these works include a picture and a sonnet that share a title, comment on each other and elaborate on a joint vision. These picture-word combinations sit at the core of Rossetti’s oeuvre and continue to resist, disorient and frustrate critical efforts.

Join researcher Nicholas Dunn-McAfee to discover new interpretations of Rossetti’s most famous works and to explore how the artist’s radical “double work” form obsesses over meaning found at the limits of image and word.
