Almost a century after his death, the name of Burne-Jones has become synonymous with the history and achievements of the Pre-Raphaelites, yet he was a relative latecomer to the movement and in many respects transcended its aspirations, becoming regarded as the leader of the Aesthetic Movement, a precursor of Symbolism and one of the pivotal figures in nineteenth-century art. In this, the first monograph on the artist for twenty years, Russell Ash outlines the remarkable life and work of this enormously influential painter. He traces his progress from his background in Birmingham, through his university career at Oxford and his association with William Morris, Rossetti and other members of the Pre-Raphaelite circle, into the London artistic milieu. His sources of inspiration in medieval legend and literature are examined, as are his travels, major commissions and decorative and other work in a variety of media including stained glass, tapestries and book illustra¬tion.
