In the field of painting, she enjoyed considerable success, as one of the Pre-Raphaelites, acquiring the patronage of England’s foremost art critic, John Ruskin, who dubbed her a genius and paid her a fortune for the right of first refusal to buy her new works. But her poetry career was ended before it had a chance to begin, cut short by her death from an overdose of laudanum at the age of 32, leaving behind a maelstrom of papers dubbed “too hopelessly sad for publication”. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer work languished for a century and a half before slowly being recognized as sophisticated, majestic, powerful and anything but too hopelessly sad for publication. Collected here for the first time in a widely available popular reading edition are all 15 of Siddal’s known poems presented in a beautiful volume that does justice to her memory and her talent. This is a companion volume for “This is Only Earth, My Dear: Images by Trillian Stars and Kyle Cassidy with poems by Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48137166127344,"sku":"9781948886482","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/files\/9781948886482.jpg?v=1759786406","url":"https:\/\/shop.landmarkbooksellers.com\/products\/the-mostly-complete-poems-of-elizabeth-eleanor-siddal-by-elizabeth-eleanor-siddal-kyle-cassidy","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
