In terms of Desperate Romantics, because i studied them at school and pretty much knew that they were basically into women (with their shitty attitudes alas), drinking and being laddish generally so the drama was sort of what i expected.
I mean, Rossetti was the type of guy to put a bunch of poems into his dead wife's (Lizzie Siddal) coffin and then later on decide he wanted the poems back so he had her coffin dug up. O______o And you've got Millais who was told by their patron (Ruskin) to shack up with his wife 'cos Ruskin couldn't do the job apparently. And don't get me started on Holman Hunt. Lol.

Still. I love some of their artwork.
