This correspondence between the leading art agent of the mid-Victorian period, known as "The Owl," and the family of his chief client, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, may be the most complete record of the artist-agent relationship. The letters also provide much new information about a leading artist-poet, the Pre-Raphaelite circle, and the leading London artists and writers beyond that circle, from Madox Brown to Swinburne. The then new role of artist's agent was defined in many respects by Charles Augustus Howell, flamboyant yet cultivated son of an English artist-wine merchant and an aristocratic Portuguese lady. Starting as an international man of mystery with some involvement in railways, Howell emerged in 1866 as Ruskin's secretary with a sideline as art salesman and interior decorator. During the 1870's he became the friend and business associate not only of D.G. Rossetti but also of Whistler, G.F. Watts, and Burne-Jones, Sandys, and other principal artists. His consummate salesmanship was most evident in the case of Rossetti, who refused to exhibit his works or even allow them to be seen unless the viewer was a certain buyer. Dubbed "Owl" by Burne-Jones, Howell was described by Whistler as "the wonderful man, the genius, the superb liar, the Gil-Blas, Robinson-Crusoe hero out of his proper time, the creature of top-boots and plumes." The letters from the Rossettis to Howell are published here for the first time, having been sold by Howell's estate to a family that subsequently sold them to the University of Texas. The whole correspondence--together with Professor Cline's introduction, notes, and index--"alters all existing catalogues and bibliographies and critical studies of D.G. Rossetti," says Stanley Weintraub, author of Whistler and Four Rossettis.

In 1788, the Catalogue of Five Hundred Celebrated Authors of Great Britain, Now Living forecast a form of authorship that rested on biographical revelation and media saturation as well as literary achievement. This collection traces the unique experiences of women writers within a celebrity culture that was intimately connected to the expansion of print technology and of visual and material culture in the nineteenth century. The contributors examine a wide range of artifacts, including prefaces, portraits, frontispieces, birthday books, calendars and gossip columns, to consider the nature of women's celebrity and the forces that created it. How did authors like Jane Austen, the Countess of Blessington, Louisa May Alcott, Alice Meynell, and Marie Corelli negotiate the increasing demands for public revelation of the private self? How did gender shape the posthumous participation of women writers such as Jane Austen, Ellen Wood, Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Christina Rossetti in celebrity culture? These and other important questions related to the treatment of women in celebrity genres and media, and the strategies women writers used to control their public images, are taken up in this suggestive exploration of how nineteenth and early twentieth century women writers achieved popular, critical, and commercial success.
