Laura Kilbride is in residence from mid-June through mid-July 2013 to use the resources of the Delaware Art Museum, the University of Delaware Library, and the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection. She is studying the relationship of the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne and the painter-poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti from their first meeting in 1857 through 1868, when Swinburne commented on his friend’s art in “Notes on Some Pictures of 1868.” A Ph.D. candidate at St. John’s College, University of Cambridge, UK, she is writing a dissertation on “Swinburne’s Style."
