# The Germ: Thoughts towards Nature in Poetry, Literature and Art

By Various.

"The Germ: Thoughts towards Nature in Poetry, Literature and Art" by Various is a periodical published between January and April 1850. Established by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to spread their artistic ideas, this short-lived magazine featured original etchings, poetry, and essays on art and literature. Edited by William Michael Rossetti, it showcased works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Christina Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown, and other Brotherhood members. Despite its ambitious vision of uniting poetry and visual art, the magazine survived only four issues, selling fewer than 100 copies each. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
