About this audiobook
Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898) was a master of drawing, painted glass and ceramic art. Little concerned with the details of daily reality, he probed medieval literature for new themes and produced works that idolize Victorian values and the Englishwoman.
Burne-Jones was the epitome of politically correct licentiousness, as a recent London exhibition made delightfully plain to all.
