Penelope Fitzgerald, the Booker Prize-winning author of Offshore' and The Blue Flower', turns her attention to the remarkable life of the Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones.
Penelope Fitzgerald was een Engelse romanschrijfster, dichteres, essayiste en biografe, gevierd om haar scherpe inzicht in de menselijke aard en haar meesterlijke vertelkunst. Met een feilloos oog voor detail en droge humor ving ze de complexiteit van het dagelijks leven en de verborgen passies van haar personages. Haar proza, vaak geworteld in echte gebeurtenissen en individuen, resoneert met tijdloze waarheid en literaire elegantie. Fitzgerald liet een blijvende indruk achter in de Britse literatuur als vertelster die geschiedenis en mensenlevens met unieke gevoeligheid tot leven kon wekken.
