"In this, the third edition of her important reassessment of Fanny Cornforths life, Stonell Walker continues to set the record straight. Through extensive research, including new information available since the previous edition, Stonell Walker reevaluates an historically maligned life, perpetually portrayed through the lens of Victorian patriarchal social and gender bias. In this correction of the canon Cornforth rises above stunner status to retrieve her own life story." Margaretta Frederick (Annette Woolard Provine Curator, Bancroft Pre-Raphaelite Collection, Delaware Art Museum)
Through her thoughtful consideration of the sparse, documented facts and her critical examination of the sensationalized biographical fictions, Kirsty Stonell Walker portrays Fanny Cornforth as a real woman with her own, individual life story, releasing her from the confines of the picture frame and the shade of Rossettis shadow. Stunner is a must-read for anyone interested in the Pre-Raphaelite circle. Debra N. Mancoff (Author of Dante Gabriel Rossetti: Portraits of Women)
The much-maligned Fanny Cornforth has long needed to be brought out of the shadow of other Pre-Raphaelite women (and the deeper shadow of Pre-Raphaelite men). In this engaging biography, Kirsty Stonell-Walker brings Fanny into her rightful place in art history. Lucinda Hawksley, biographer of Lizzie Siddal
