A giant of the Arts and Crafts movement, William Morris was one of the foremost creative geniuses of Victorian Britain. Morris’s wife Jane, however, is often relegated to a footnote in her husband’s illustrious history.
Join art historian Suzanne Fagence Cooper, author of How We Might Live, in conversation with playwright and arts equality specialist Hassan Mahamdallie, author of Crossing the ‘River of Fire’: The Socialism of William Morris, as they discuss Jane as an artist in her own right, and her role in her husband’s life as both his muse and his most important collaborator.
Together, Suzanne Fagence Cooper and Hassan Mahamdallie will uncover the world that William and Jane built together and the incredible life they lived.
