The work of renowned artist Edward Burne-Jones is all around us – on Christmas cards, in stained glass windows and in art galleries. Broadcaster and critic Fiona MacCarthy re-evaluates his art and life and explains his battle against vicious public hostility, the susceptibility to female beauty that inspired his art but would ruin his marriage, and how he was dogged by ill health and depression. She also explores the rift with his great friend and collaborator William Morris.
MacCarthy is one of the leading biographers in Britain today. Her biography of William Morris won two literary awards and she was awarded the OBE for services to literature in 2009. She talks to Colin Harrison, senior sssistant keeper of Western art at the Ashmolean Museum.
