IN writing of Rossetti I have written of a manwho cannot by any possibility be knownthrough one biographer alone. Those whocame in contact with him received impressions asvarious as strong, and he has been to a singularextent the object of both eulogy and detraction.In his letters he gives a presentation of himselfundoubtedly faithful so far as it goes, but it doesnot go very far. In his poems and in his pictureswe fmd revelations of his attitude toward life whichto a large degree supplement the letters, and in thenumerous and frequently contradictory opinions ex-pressed by his companions we have many glimpsesof an individuality that puzzled them despite thefrankness with which it was manifested to them,or perhaps because of that frankness. To trace the true Rossetti by these clues is a task
