Edward Burne-Jones Illustrator & Author

Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) was one of the greatest and most original artists of Victorian England; his romantic and dreamy output was belied by his sharp and practical private persona. Thomas Rooke (1842-1941) was a painter and topographer, much patronised by Ruskin. He served as Burne-Jones's studio assistant for the last four years of the older painter's life. Mary Lago was Professor of English at the University of Missouri-Columbia. She wrote extensively on William Rothenstein, Rabindranath Tagore and E. M. Forster.
