A NOTE ON THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ELEMENTS IN ROSSETTI’S “HAND AND SOUL”.

A NOTE ON THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ELEMENTS IN ROSSETTI’S “HAND AND SOUL”.

London 1882, p. 134). There are three versions of the story, published respectively in the "Germ" (1850), the Fortnightly Review (vol. iii, 1870, pp. 692--702), and in the "Works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti" (London 1911, p. 549 et seq.).

Abstract

With the exception of an opening page or two "Hand and Soul" was written in the early morning hours of a night in December 1849 (cf. Hall Caine: ,,Recollections of D. G. Rossetti". London 1882, p. 134). There are three versions of the story, published respectively in the "Germ" (1850), the Fortnightly Review (vol. iii, 1870, pp. 692--702), and in the "Works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti" (London 1911, p. 549 et seq.). There are slight differences in the three texts, but since the main argument of the story has been left unaltered, they are negligible. For the purposes of this note I have culled the quotations from the version published in the "Germ"; it is reprinted in the Oxford edition of Rossetti. The story may be divided into three sections: a) the author's introductory remarks, preparing the reader for the main argument. The style is that characteristic of learned treatises, b) the main argument, which is paraphrased below, c) a kind of epilogue in the style of section a), showing the influence of the painting mentioned in section b) on the author. It closes with a dialogue between continental students of art concerning mysticism. In Arezzo there lived
