- The monograph explores the representation of the unrepresentable in the works of Dante and Rossetti from a threefold perspective. First, it examines the Dante/Rossetti relationship outside traditional, influence-based approaches, rather seeing it as a dynamic interchange. Second, it analyses the Polidori-Rossetti family as a peculiar case-study of transnational Italian literature. Third, it combines Lacanian psychoanalysis, Italian theory, and visual culture to show how Pre-Raphaelitism challenges Western art by recuperating the multicultural syncretism between East and West of pre-Renaissance Tuscan painting. It is proposed for double-weighting on account of its extended and complex exploration of these three substantial perspectives.
