This classic work from 1904 is a unique and comprehensive source: a fascinating account of the life and times of the painter and decorative artist Edward BurneJones, written by his wife Georgiana shortly after the artist's death.The account begins with BurneJones's childhood and schooldays in Birmingham and his student days at Oxford, and moves on to describe his lifelong friendship with William Morris, the important influence on him of Rossetti, and his development as one of the most important late Victorian artists and a key figure in the Aesthetic Movement.Georgiana BurneJones lets her characters speak for themselves whenever possible, quoting extensively from letters, conversations and reminiscences. BurneJones was a formidable scholar and antiquarian and took a lively interest in current events; the memoirs include his reflections on a wide range of topics, such as art and artists, contemporary politics, education, the future of science and the art of living.The Memorials are therefore much more than just a biography. In recording BurneJones's many friendships with artists and such literary figures as Ruskin, Browning, Swinburne and George Eliot, the author sheds important light on the whole cultural climate in which BurneJones was working.This new edition of the Memorials, which have been long outofprint, will be of great interest to scholars and nonscholars alike, who will find in the work a lively portrait of a fascinating man. As John Christian writes in his introduction to the new edition, this is 'a portrait which has few real parallels in the history of British art... It is a book that keeps well..., bears rereading and seldom fails to come up with some profound idea.'
