A fictional biography of Elizabeth Siddall, wife of English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It explores the charged interpersonal relationships between and among Siddall, Rossetti, and other key members of the pre-Raphaelite movement, including William Morris and John Ruskin.
Never before published, "White Rose and the Red" is the fictional biography of Elizabeth Siddall, wife of English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. This extraordinary novel explores the charged interpersonal relationships between and among Siddall, Rossetti, and other key members of the pre-Raphaelite movement, including William Morris and John Ruskin. During H.D.'s lifetime, publishers shied away from the novel's radically unconventional hybrid form that combines elements of historical nonfiction, fiction, and biography. As part of the dense and allusive prose trilogy written during and after World War II (along with "The Sword Went Out to Sea" and "The Mystery"), "White Rose and the Red" exemplifies the mythic theme that H.D. saw as unifying all her writing. It also examines how Siddall - a controversial muse and model - came to become the iconic figure of an artistic movement.

H.D. (born Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961) was an American writer who exerted enormous influence on modernist poetry and prose. She lived in London before, during, and after World War II. Many of her novels were written under the pseudonym Delia Alton. Alison Halsall is adjunct professor of English literature at York University, Toronto.
