Abstract

Elizabeth Siddall (1829–1862) is a major figure in Pre-Raphaelitism as a model and artist, and her poetry, unpublished until after her death, is increasingly taught and anthologized. Siddall’s association with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, posing for works including Ophelia by John Everett Millais (1852, Tate Britain) and Regina Cordium by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1860, Johannesburg Art Gallery), led to her developing interest and skill in creative work including drawing and painting, and she wrote poetry in secret, developing verses which indicate her interest in the medieval aesthetics and themes with which the Pre-Raphaelites engaged. She read widely in poets admired by the Pre-Raphaelite circle, and the influence of Keats, Tennyson, and Christina Rossetti, among others, can be traced in her poems. Much of her poetry is in ballad form, and Siddall plays with voice, color, and imagery throughout her work, with a consistency of theme and approach throughout her painting...
