Contents: Introduction; George Borrow; Dante Gabriel Rossetti; Alfred, lord Tennyson; Christina Georgina Rossetti; Dr. Gordon Hake; John Leicester Warren, lord de Tabley; William Morris; Francis Hindes Groome. According to the Introduction to this work, Theodore Watts-Dunton always intended to publish his "recollections of his friends that he had from time to time contributed to The Athenæum. Had his range of interests been less wide he might have found the time in which to further this and many other literary projects he had formed." While there is no essay on Swinburne, information is given in the Introduction concerning the long friendship between Watts-Dunton and Swinburne. "Swinburne and Watts-Dunton had first met in 1872. In 1879 they went to live together at �The Pined,' and from that date were never parted until Swinburne's death thirty years' later. In no literary friendship has the bond been closer" (12). PRB-151
---. Poetry and the Renascence of Wonder. New York: Dutton, 1916. Printed in Great Britain. The author's article on Poetry in the 9th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the introduction to v. 3 of Patrick's edition of Chamber's Cyclopedia of English Literature (the Renasence of wonder in English poetry) with selections from his criticisms in the Athenaeum. Published according to his plan, but without his revision. cf. Introd., signed: Thomas Hake. This work contains Watts-Dunton's two most famous essays with revisions and inserts made by him near the end of his life. The editor differentiates between the original essays and the added material by printing the original with wider spaces between the lines and the additional materials "solid" without extra wide spaces, thus leaving the reader with the option of reading only the original essays or the revised versions. The author discusses the pre-Raphaelite poets in his essays. PRB-122

The foreward to this catalogue begins by stating that "William Morris's revolt against the evil results of the Industrial Revolution took many forms, from the revival of handcrafts to pioneer work for Socialism. His achievements as a designer, craftsman, writer and social philosopher had a deep and wide influence, not only during his lifetime but silnce, and today he is acknowledged as one of the most important figures in the history of the decorative arts." The catalogue describes the collections at the William Morris Gallery which may be divided into three groups: the "Brangwyn Gift of pictures and sculpture, mainly by nineteenth-century artists, including the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood," "the Mackmurdo Bequest consisting principally of furniture, textiles and designs made by the Century Guild," and the Morris Collection, "fully representing the work of Morris and his circle." The catalogue is arranged as follows: Group A: Cartoons and original designs; Group B: Wallpapers; Group C: Ceramics and stained glass; Groups F and N: Textiles; Group G: Furniture; Group H: Personal relics; Group J: Manuscripts; and Group K: Books and book design. The catalogue also contains a select list of books, biographical notes, and an index of wallpaper and textile patterns. PRB-109

According to the author, this work is designed to "present the main features" of the Pre-Raphaelite movement "in their relation to the larger intellectual tendencies of the age, and to the moral principles which have determined the growth of taste and feeling in the nineteenth century. To this end I have avoided as far as possible the proper domain of the art critic, and endeavoured to deal with the Pre-Raphaelite movement more as an ethical than an æsthetic revolution." PRB-96

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
