Hand And Soul (1910)

Hand and Soul is a collection of two short stories written by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a prominent figure of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The first story, Hand and Soul, is a romantic tale about a young artist who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for the ability to create a masterpiece. The story explores themes of ambition, temptation, and the price of artistic success. The second story, The King's Tragedy, is a historical fiction set in medieval Scotland. It tells the story of a nobleman who falls in love with the queen and is subsequently executed for treason. The story is a poignant exploration of love, loyalty, and the consequences of political intrigue. Both stories are beautifully written, with vivid descriptions and a lyrical style that is characteristic of Rossetti's work. Hand and Soul is a must-read for fans of Gothic literature, romanticism, and the Pre-Raphaelite movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
