20.10.2024 - I took my Mum to the Victorian Radicals exhibition at BMAG this afternoon which focuses on the Pre-Raphaelites and associated art and design movements. Surprisingly I wasn't much struck by the paintings, possibly a consequence of the curation? But I did very much enjoy the design work of William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. I've never seen some of the Morris designs featured at the gallery in person before, I've only seen replicas or modern printings.
I'm now settling down for the evening with When Christ and His Saints Slept now I have a replacement copy (this book was not working on my ereader, it felt wrong! Then the cover fell off...)
Currently reading: When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon Penman; Practical Predestinarians by Leif Dixon
