![]() ![]() seriously they work… well they work on me….Įlizabeth Siddal: Critic of the Chivalric State ![]() Off to do work I go, but before that have a pickup line ‘After the sino-soviet split, your legs should be easy’. Also I will attempt to write a post about the idea of collective memory and Rasputin (because everyone one loves that man, right?). Please enjoy my terrible doodle of Siddal freezing whilst posing for Millais’ Ophelia as an apology for this long read.

So today, you get to read my lovely and rather long research project on Elizabeth Siddal as a proto-feminist of sorts. Apologies, once again, its the festive season meaning my workload is killing me softly (keeping up with the terrible references though). ![]()
