William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones came from very different backgrounds but their shared love of medieval literature and art bound them together. For over 40 years they weathered personal storms, tragedies and political disagreements to create beautiful art and craft: book design, stained glass and other decorative projects. This talk charts the peaks and troughs of their long friendship.
