A bold reassessment of nineteenthcentury British painter and decorative artist Edward BurneJones, elucidating his fundamentally radical defiance of the Victorian ageChallenging the dominant characterization of Edward BurneJones as an escapist who withdrew from the modern world into imaginary realms of his own creation, this groundbreaking book argues that he was engaged in a fundamentally radical defiance of the age, protesting against imperial aggression, capitalist economic inequality, and environmental destruction in the wake of the industrial revolution.Harnessing the utopian power of embodied aesthetic encounters, BurneJones drew inspiration from the medieval concept of dreams as visionary states of transformation. Therefore, his art functioned not as a retreat, but as a vehicle for revolutionary awakening. Often characterized as a painter, this book recenters BurneJoness practice in the decorative arts, demonstrating that he consistently interrogated the boundaries of artistic media, in keeping with wider debates over the role of the arts in the nineteenth century.The first scholarly monograph solely devoted to BurneJones since 1973, The Radical Vision of Edward BurneJones offers a thorough reexamination of his work, illuminating his radical defiance of the artistic, social, and political hierarchies of nineteenthcentury Britain.Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
