Ep. 18 How did John Keats influence Christina Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelites? A Conversation with Dinah Roe

How did John Keats influence Christina Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelites? In this episode of our Writ in Water series inspired by John Keats’ epitaph – ‘Here lies one whose name was writ in water’ – we talk to Dr Dinah Roe about Christina Rossetti, her sonnet 'On Keats' - and more widely about how Keats influenced the Pre-Raphaelite artists. This includes her brothers, Dante Gabriel and William Michael, fighting over who was better - Keats or Shelley?
