I've Been Reading More Biography & Speculation about Swinburne...

I think it would be fun to write a script based on creepy Swinburne, his creepy family and his mostly creepy Pre-Raphaelite friends.

Sort of a cross between a bad Goth soap opera and the Addams Family.

You'd have to approach it with humor.

There are delightful bit parts for people like Mary Gordon (later the novelist Mary Leith).

I like her.

And the Rossettim have always fascinated me.

And of course you could have Lizzie Siddal dug up again to reclaim the book of poems.

So much for noblesse oblige among the Pre-Raphaelites.

That would give license for errant fantasies to an arrant knave...you know, Lizzie back from the grave looking for "her" poems.

Fun and flagellation.
