"Looking Downward Thence": D. G. Rossetti's "The Blessed Damozel" in Astronomical Focus.
- Authors
Hall, Jason David
- Abstract
The article offers poetry criticism of the poem "The Blessed Damozel" by D. G. Rossetti. It explores the astronomical contexts for Rossetti's works; painter-poet's participation in a demonstrably Victorian form of imaginative science and the new visual cultures of nineteenth-century astronomy; and the idiosyncrasies of his artistic endeavors. Also mentions about deep-field view of the Damozel in relation to nineteenth-century.
