Dear me. I understand WMR because we all have a family member who gives everyone else headaches but as I am Fanny-centric I have to hate him too. There's a family that could do with mediation...Kirsty Stonell Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342964877965021654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-43379230537843371592016-02-25T12:22:04.061+00:002016-02-25T12:22:04.061+00:00Just as an aside, I'm find it ironic to be rea...Just as an aside, I'm find it ironic to be reading your wonderful stuff sitting in the refectory of the Arts University Bournemouth, surrounded by students who love avant garde and modern art and where no one has any time for such as Rossetti (and only a couple of miles from the Venus Verticordia)!WoofWoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142792485921452481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-59752476504481044562016-02-25T12:19:34.085+00:002016-02-25T12:19:34.085+00:00What a truly wonderful post!

I think DGR's relationship with WMR is interesting. As often happens with siblings DGR was totally different to William Michael and Christina and I think William Michael spent most of his time wondering what Gabriel's next stupid move was going to be and how he William was going to get him out of it. He clearly distrusted and disliked Fanny but it is interesting what you say that he managed a small compliment in one place. I think psychologists would have an interesting time analysing the Rossetti family. It's interesting that DGR didn't want to be buried in the family plot!WoofWoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142792485921452481noreply@blogger.com
