The story of how a group of precocious young artists shook up the
British art establishment, told through their works, letters and
diaries. An illustrated history of the linked lives and loves of a
group of supremely talented artists of late Victorian Britain
through their passionate writings. It features the painters, poets,
critics and designers: Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones, Fanny
Cornforth, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, William and
Janey Morris, Christina, Dante Gabriel, and William Rossetti, John
Ruskin, William Bell Scott and Lizzie Siddal. The artistic
aspirations and achievements of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood are
revealed alongside the interwoven dramas of their personal lives,
in letters, diaries and reminiscences, while their genius is
displayed in vivid paintings, drawings, designs and poems. The
Pre-Raphaelites was a charmed circles of love, friendship and art.
Within an ever-changing flow of affections, and intimacies as
richly patterned as a tapestry, they worked together as companions,
lovers and partners. They shared tragedy as well as happiness,
critical hostility as well as success, even the griefs of
infidelity and discord. These creative partnerships, which also
created the firm William Morris and Co, revitalised Victorian art
and design. The new edition publishes in time for the start of the
Burne Jones Exhibition at Tate Britain, starting in October 18. It
is a vital book in understanding the Pre-Raphaelite art, which
remains as popular and moving as ever.
