Book excerpt: A sack of ancient gold coins and valuable jewelry, including an exquisite, rare brooch is stolen from the Moretti family in Tropea, Italy. The year is 1910. Of the three thieves, only one survives ... and he only because he flees for sanctuary to a local monastery but not before carefully hiding the sack of valuables. Several years go by before he can secretly pass information about the hidden treasure to Ophelia, his childhood sweetheart. She quickly retrieves it. The Moretti family soon learns what has happened and set out after her with vengeful hearts. Ophelia and her younger sister flee for their lives to America. Decades later, a young female college student at the University of Notre Dame, who has received the brooch as part of an inheritance, visits the Museum of Art in Chicago where her attention is drawn to a fifteenth-century Italian painting. The subject is an aristocratic woman who appears to be wearing a brooch. Her brooch! Confused and excited, she begins a flurry of investigations to determine how that could possibly be. Eventually, she travels to Italy and try to solve the puzzle. There she meets a mysterious band of gypsies and discovers answers she could never have dreamed of.

Download or read book Ophelia and Victorian Visual Culture written by Kimberly Rhodes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kimberly Rhodes's interdisciplinary book is the first to explore fully the complicated representational history of Shakespeare's Ophelia during the Victorian period. In nineteenth-century Britain, the shape, function and representation of women's bodies were typically regulated and interpreted by public and private institutions, while emblematic fictional female figures like Ophelia functioned as idealized templates of Victorian womanhood. Rhodes examines the widely disseminated representations of Ophelia, from works by visual artists and writers, to interpretations of her character in contemporary productions of Hamlet, revealing her as a nexus of the struggle for the female body's subjugation. By considering a broad range of materials, including works by Anna Lea Merritt, Elizabeth Siddal, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and John Everett Millais, and paying special attention to images women produced, Rhodes illuminates Ophelia as a figure whose importance crossed class and national boundaries. Her analysis yields fascinating insights into 'high' and mass culture and enables transnational comparisons that reveal the compelling associations among Ophelia, gender roles, body image and national identity.
