AB This essay analyzes the ballad influence in the poetry and paintings of ElizabethSiddal. To conduct this task, I have chosen four of her poems – “Fragment of a Ballad”,“Love and Hate”, “At Last”, “Worn Out” – and two of her best-known pictures – ClerkSaunders and Eve of St. Agnes. The aim of this research is to demonstrate that Siddal drewinspiration from ballad writers such as Walter Scott, John Keats and Alfred Tennyson tosubvert their subjects and work with them from a feminine perspective. Both her poems andher paintings have been analyzed to show how the artist interpreted those ballads written byher predecessors to offer her own version and a possible answer to the issues presentedfrom a feminine point of view. Finally, this paper proves that Elizabeth Siddal has taken theballad genre and adapted it to show her discomfort with Victorian standards.
