Always0nny: low sit i down at my lady’s feet gazing through her wild eyes smiling to think how my love will fleet when their starlike beauty dies. The book is illustrated with portraits of Siddall and examples of her own art. Always0nny: i care not for my lady’s soul though i worship before her smile i care not where be my lady’s goal when her beauty shall lose its wile. Appendices include a previously unpublished letter from Siddall and poems by other writers that relate to her life and work. Elizabeth Siddall’s own voice emerges fully from these pages, supporting her rediscovery as a creative artist in her own right.Įach poem is accompanied by notes and analysis, and the detailed introduction, extensive bibliography, and biographical timeline position Siddall in her historical, literary and critical contexts. Serena Trowbridge has undertaken extensive archival research to restore Siddall’s better-known poems – often heavily edited in previous publications – to their original form, and to identify and reproduce poems and fragments not previously included in anthologies. This book publishes all her extant poetry in a single volume for the first time.
However, she was also an artist and a poet. Elizabeth Siddall is best known as the muse and model for many Pre-Raphaelite artists and as the wife of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
