This work is a notable artifact of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of young artists and writers who sought to overturn the established norms of art and literature through a dedication to nature and individual creativity. The journal features diverse contributions from its founders and other contemporary figures, aiming to express a freshly rebellious artistic vision. At the start of "The Germ," an introduction by William Michael Rossetti provides context for the formation of the magazine, detailing the dissatisfaction of its founders with the artistic climate of their time. He reflects on the motivations of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, comprising figures like Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Holman-Hunt, and Millais, emphasizing their desire to pursue original thought and personal expression in art, rooted deeply in nature's study. The opening sections not only outline the rebellious spirit of these young artists but they also encourage a broader examination of the principles of art and poetry, setting the stage for the subsequent works included in the magazine.
