About the Book

In Fiona MacCarthy’s riveting account, Burne-Jones’s exchange of faith for art places him at the intersection of the nineteenth century and the Modern, as he leads us forward from Victorian mores and attitudes to the psychological, sexual, and artistic audacity that would characterize the early twentieth century.

Review :
Wonderful...This is a perfect coming together of biographer and subject. -- Michael Holroyd The Guardian 20111126 The best real biography I read this year was Fiona MacCarthy's Edward Burne-Jones: The Last Pre-Raphaelite, a masterpiece of control. -- James Fergusson Times Literary Supplement 20111202 A narrative feat which gives a detailed account of the Victorian immersion in its great lake of sentiment, mystic feelings and good cheer, and in the period waters of duality. -- Karl Miller Times Literary Supplement 20111202 Aimed at the general reader, [McCarthy's] thoroughly researched biography changes our perception of the man and his art by exploring in depth aspects of his life that an art historian might only consider in passing. In recognizing the undertow of melancholy and sexual frustration embedded in work of hypnotic visual power, she articulates what the illustrator George du Maurier called the "Burne-Jonesiness of Burne-Jones." -- Richard Dorment New York Review of Books 20120223 [An] impressive biography of Burne-Jones...MacCarthy paints a lively portrait of Burne-Jones's circle, including the dark sides...Even Burne-Jones's detractors will find that The Last Pre-Raphaelite skillfully probes the fascinating recesses of the Victorian mind and that MacCarthy achieves her goal of getting Burne-Jones out from under [William] Morris's shadow. -- Henrik Bering Wall Street Journal 20120211 MacCarthy's The Last Pre Raphaelite is one of those books one can happily live in for a week. -- Michael Dirda Washington Post 20120222 [An] acute biography...MacCarthy gives us a full, fair, and splendidly rich portrait of Burne-Jones the artist and man. -- Matthew Price Boston Globe 20120219
