An eminent literary biographer and critic shows how poetry enriched the art of two representative English Romantic painters

Visionary and Dreamer evokes the century of the poet-painter, when painting drew much of its inspiration from imaginative literature. Samuel Palmer (1805–1881), an unworldly visionary, obscure in his lifetime but now a recognized master, and Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898), the Pre-Raphaelite daydreamer, once revered as a great painter but later admired chiefly for his work in applied art, emerge as artists who turned to their own inner lives to interpret Shakespeare, Milton, and Keats.

David Cecil (1902–1986) was a literary historian and biographer and Goldsmiths’ Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford from 1948 until his retirement in 1969. He was the author of many books, including The Stricken Deer: Or the Life of William Cowper and A Portrait of Jane Austen.
