f-book analysis |
When finished, this site will surely be an exhaustive online reference to Rossetti's oeuvre. Its pages, numbering apparently in the tens of thousands, are a little slow to load, being both image-heavy and nicely designed, but also Java-stuffed with copyright protection, which would perhaps be our only quibble... Is the site for Rossetti, or McGann? |
