| Abstract: |
This essay begins by examining the morbid textualization of Elizabeth Siddal's corpse in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's poems and reflects on Siddal's own self-representations. The verse of Emily Dickinson and Elizabeth Phelps is also considered in the light of the Victorians' preoccupation with imagining turning into a corpse. |
