The book on Ancient, Classical, and Medieval Poetry begins with epic poetry from ancient Babylonia and Greece. Poetry did not grow during the Middle Ages, but it saw a renaissance during the Renaissance. Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti, often known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was a member of the Rossetti family and an English poet, illustrator, painter, and translator. With William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais, he created the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848. Rossetti went on to become a key inspiration for the movement's second generation of painters and authors, most notably William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. His art impacted European Symbolists and he was a key figure in the Aesthetics movement.
