Introduction

This is an important early study of DGR's works with original materials of various kinds, including two facsimiles, as well as an Appendix listing “The Artistic Record”, a catalogue of DGR's pictorial work. The data in the Appendix has been inorporated into later scholarly works and thus has been superseded, but the critical commentaries remain an important document in DGR's reception history.

“These are the symbols: on that cloth of red I' the centre is the Tripoint, perfect each, Except the second of its points, to teach That Christ is not yet born. The books whose head Is golden charity, as Paul hath said, Those virtues are wherein the soul is rich, Therefore on them the lily standeth which Is Innocence, being interpreted; The seven-thorn'd briar and the palm seven-leaved Are her great sorrow and her great reward. Until the end be full the Holy One Abides without. She soon shall have achieved Her perfect purity:—yea, God the Lord Shall soon vouchsafe His Son to be her Son.” This manuscript facsimile of the sonnet is tipped into the book between pages 426 and 427.
