In this episode I'm joined by Laure Nermel, who is finishing her PhD on Elizabeth Siddal,. We discuss how the Pre-Raphaelites are portrayed in Neo-Victorian fiction (novels, but also TV shows and plays), especially the women who were connected to the movement. We discuss the value of Siddal's work in her own right (not just as a model but as an artist and writer herself).

About my guest:

After a B.A in English literature at the Sorbonne, Laure went to Cape Town for a study exchange programme as a French tutor. Her Master’s dissertation focussed on Victorian visual arts, which enabled her to publish an article in the Journal des Arts about fairy painting. She completed her education in Museum Studies at the University of Westminster, by participating in several projects at the Musée d’Orsay, the V&A, Tate and the Museum of London. She is now a licensed tour guide specialised in 19th century culture, museum displays and gender issues. Her PhD is on the creative agency of Pre-Raphaelite artist and poet Elizabeth Siddal at Lille University. In 2021, she contributed to the writing of the book Pre-Raphaelite Sisters (Peter Lang) and to the issue of the online journal GLAD! dedicated to networks and communities of women artists.
