<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>The highly acclaimed bestselling biography of the Pre-Raphaelite artists' muse, by Lucinda Hawksley - the great-great-great granddaughter of Charles Dickens.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Before the modern supermodel, there was Lizzie Siddal, whose image captivated a generation-and whose life ended in a laudanum-soaked suicide. Saved from a working-class existence by Dante Rossetti, the Pre-Raphaelite artist who was her lover, Siddal became recognizable throughout Victorian Britain as Millais's doomed Ophelia and Rossetti's beatified Beatrice. Lucinda Hawksley looks behind the celebrated muse to reveal a talented woman in her own right.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Lizzie Siddal</i></b> <br> "The story, as it gains in tragedy, is irresistible, and this retelling leaves the reader haunted afresh . . .
