An Evening with Dr Jan Marsh and Frank C. Sharp, editors of ‘The Collected Letters of Jane Morris’

Thursday 1st November - An Evening with Dr Jan Marsh and Frank C. Sharp, editors of ‘The Collected Letters of Jane Morris’, 7:00pm

Dr Jan Marsh and Frank C. Sharp will be joining us at the De Morgan Centre to discuss their new book. The edited volume contains over 500 letters of Jane Morris, wife of William Morris and a renowned Victorian artists’ model. The letters give an insight into Jane’s personality, and many of them are being published for the first time.

Jan Marsh is a researcher and author specialising in artists and writers. She has researched and written extensively on the Pre-Raphaelite circle and Victorian women artists, and is currently developing the late-Victorian catalogue at the National Portrait Gallery. Frank C. Sharp has written extensively on William Morris for the Journal of Pre-Raphaelite Studies and the William Morris Society Journal in America.

Join us for this fascinating talk and learn about the enigmatic woman who was a model for several of Evelyn De Morgan’s paintings.

Spaces are limited, so book now to reserve your place! Tickets are £12.00 each. This includes entry to the talk and a free glass of sparkling wine.

A New View of a Remarkable Woman: Jane Morris from Her Own Correspondence

William Morris’s wife Jane is famous for being the iconic model of the Pre-Raphaelite painters, dismissed as a silent and discontented invalid.

Reading from their new book The Collected Letters of Jane Morris, Jan Marsh and Frank Sharp reveal a politically engaged, independent thinker who played a key role in the Morris family and business.

Organised by the Friends of the William Morris Gallery.
