Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood: A Critical Monograph
Pre-raphaelism was, of course, a return to N ature-it was nothing more and nothing less. It was a thing, in its inception, as perfectly clear, as simple, and as sharp cut as a ray of sunlight driven through the gloom of a cellar.

About the Author
Ford Madox Ford was an English writer and critic, best known for his novel The Good Soldier, considered to be one of the greatest literary works of the 20th century; the Parade s End tetralogy, which was influenced by Ford s military service during the First World War; and The Fifth Queen trilogy, which chronicles the life of Henry VIII s ill-fated wife, Katherine Howard. As a critic, Ford championed new literature and literary experimentation, and his journals, The English Review and The Transatlantic Review, launched the careers of critically acclaimed authors like Thomas Hardy, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, D. H. Lawrence, and Ernest Hemingway. Ford died in 1939 at the age of 65.
