Portrait of a Muse
'You haunt me everywhere' So wrote Edward Burne-Jones to Frances Graham, his muse for the last 25 triumphant years of his life: 'I haven't a corner of my life or my thoughts where you are not'. Even when she betrayed him to marry, he would return to her. He drew her obsessively, included her in some of his most famous paintings, and showered her with gifts.
In a discreet, subtle, human way, her life is a study in power - artistic, social, political, familial, local - and all the more fascinating for being played out from a perennial position of weakness. To him 'all the romance and beauty of my life means you.' This is the first biography of his muse. What makes a muse?
The word conjures up for the artist a human cocoon of sexual allure and worship: part inspiration, part lover and protector. Yet however beguiling, demanding and volatile a muse could be, it remained a life surrendered
