Foreword
Sir Edward Burne-Jones was the greatest of the second generation Pre-Raphaelites. He was born in Bennetts Hill in central Birmingham the 28th August 1833. His mother died within a week of his birth, and his distressed father was unable to physically touch his son as a result. He was brought up by a rather severe Low Church housekeeper. From an early age, therefore, Burne-Jones created his own dream world, to make up for his bleak and unhappy personal circumstances. This dream world lasted all his life, and in his paintings. He attended King Edwardian's Grammar School in Birmingham, where he was a successful pupil academically, and in his last year was head boy. He also attended art classes. Edward Jones, as he then was, became a devout Christian.
He went to Exeter College at the University of Oxford in 1853, and his intention was to take Holy Orders. Here he met his lifelong friend William Morris. Here they first heard of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. They jointly developed a fascination with Arthurian legend. Edward Jones became an agnostic, and art replaced religion in his life. Jones did not stay to take a degree.
In London in the mid 1850s he met his artistic hero Rossetti, who became his mentor, and they were friends until Rossetti's death in 1882. He also met Holman Hunt. Jones then moved to London, sharing rooms with Morris. He assisted Rossetti in the creation of the unsuccessful mural at the Oxford Union. In 1860 Jones married Georgiana MacDonald, one of the remarkable Macdonald sisters. Another sister married Edward Poynter, a further sister married the ironmaster Alfred Baldwin and was the mother of the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, and yet another sister was the mother of Rudyard Kipling.
Edward Jones acquired the extra surname Burne to differentiate himself from the legions of Jones's who painted.
Edward Burne-Jones was a nervous highly-strung individual. He combined a monkish asceticism, a mystical love of ancient legend, and a naughty sense of humour. He had a classical artistic characteristic of suffering nervous collapse after the completion of a major work. Georgiana, or Georgie as she was known, was, as well as his wife, the mother he never had, and the manager of his life. They had two children who survived childhood, a son Phillip, and a daughter Margaret. William Morris founded his famous company, Morris, Marshall, Faulkener and Co in 1861.
Jones worked as designer of stained glass church windows for the company, virtually to the end of his life. In the early 1860s he
