'To know his work without his talk is "not to know him" ...only
when they are side by side is the common origin and aim seen and
the complete man displayed.' Thus Thomas Rooke, studio assistant to
Burne-Jones, who over four years memorised and recorded much of his
master's studio and lunch-table talk. The man revealed with
startling freshness and immediacy is far from the familiar painter
of knightly melancholy and abstract angels. Burne-Jones emerges as
a loveable and charming man, far more practical and down-to-earth,
far more witty and ironic than might have been expected. He may
still regret that he was not born in the Middle Ages and reminisce
about the golden years with William Morris and Dante Gabriel
Rossetti in the 1850's and 60's. But he is still hard at work on
his last great collaboration with Morris, the Kelmscott Chaucer,
while not hesitating to fulminate about Britain's imperial
pretensions and the hypocrisy that accompanied them. And he is
unfailingly articulate when it comes to discussing the craft of
painting in relation to himself, his contemporaries and the giants
of the past. The conversations are edited by Mary Lago, Professor
of English at the University of Missouri-Columbia, who also wrote
extensively on William Rothenstein, Rabindranath Tagore and E. M.
Forster.
