Bøger af Suzanne Fagence Cooper

Effie Gray, a beautiful and intelligent young socialite, rattled the foundations of England's Victorian age. Married at nineteen to John Ruskin, the leading art critic of the time, she found herself trapped in a loveless, unconsummated union after Ruskin rejected her on their wedding night. On a trip to Scotland she met John Everett Millais, Ruskin's protégé, and fell passionately in love with him. In a daring act, Effie left Ruskin, had their marriage annulled and entered into a long, happy marriage with Millais. Suzanne Fagence Cooper has gained exclusive access to Effie's previously unseen letters and diaries to tell the complete story of this scandalous love triangle. In Cooper's hands, this passionate love story also becomes an important new look at the work of both Ruskin and Millais with Effie emerging as a key figure in their artistic development. Effie is a heartbreakingly beautiful book about three lives passionately entwined with some of the greatest paintings of the pre-Raphaelite period.

For the first time, a joint biography of William Morris and his creative partner and wife, Jane Morris

In his day, John Ruskin was revered as an art critic - champion of Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites - as well as an artist, educator and campaigner. However, by the mid-20th century, his message was relegated to the footnotes of debate. The Ruskin Revival: 1969-2019 celebrates the world's welcome re-engagement with his radical worldview.

Effie Gray is a compelling portrait of the extraordinary woman behind some of the greatest paintings of the Victorian era.
