"Already the first English translations gained cult status in Victorian Great Britain in a succès d’estime unmatched by any other German book in British literary history.[19] Especially in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, whose members besides Morris included Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Burne-Jones, passion for Sidonia as a Medusa-type femme fatale was widespread.[24] Rosetti is reported to have referred to and quoted from the novel "incessantly".[25] Several members drew paintings based on the novel,[25] the most famous are Clara von Bork and Sidonia von Bork by Burne-Jones in 1860.[26] For his Sidonia painting, Rosetti's girl-friend Fanny Cornforth served as the model.[27]"
