Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833 98) emerged from a solitary,
motherless childhood to form close friendships with William Morris
and such other luminaries of the Victorian art world as Dante
Gabriel Rossetti and John Ruskin. A second generation
Pre-Raphaelite and founder member of the Morris firm, he was
influential in many areas, from painting, stained glass and
tapestry design to book illustration. His later work, including
such iconic paintings as The Wheel of Fortune, The Golden Stairs
(which caused a sensation when exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery)
and The Sleep of Arthur in Avalon, influenced and exemplified the
Aesthetic Movement, and inspired the European Symbolists. His wife,
Georgiana Burne-Jones (1840 1920), published this engaging
two-volume biography in 1904. Volume 1 describes his formative
years, important early relationships, projects such as the murals
for the Oxford Union debating chamber, and his arrival at full
maturity with the St George series of 1865 7.
