Across the span of nearly forty years, Burne-Jones and Morris forged a transformative, radical and uniquely collaborative artistic partnership. These two Victorian radicals found a common bond in their shared struggle to confront the ills of modernity, enacting an extended aesthetic protest against environmental degradation, imperial violence, and capitalist materialism that would endure throughout their lives. Dr Andrea Wolk Rager explores the disruptive, revolutionary labours of Burne-Jones and Morris, as they sought to craft utopian spaces of resistance against the Victorian age.
