Book Synopsis The Secret Son of Dante Gabriel Rossetti by : Christabel Powell
Book excerpt: The reputations of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the artist and poet, together with his sister, the poet Christina Rossetti, were zealously guarded by their brother Michael and the Rossetti family in general. Any whiff of scandal was to be strictly avoided, concealed or otherwise written out of history. But according to family traditions handed down to Dr Powell, the author of this book, her great-grandfather was Dante Gabriel Rossetti's illegitimate son. Based on the evidence she has unearthed, Dr Powell tells the story of Rossetti's secret love affair and the son that resulted.
