“She would have shown a finer devotion to his memory had she reduced the bulk of these two volumes to one. Having made our own abridgement, we have little but praise for Mrs. Burne-Jones’s work. To our mind the best part of the narrative is that which contains the experiences of Burne-Jones at Oxford and during the first years in London, while the Oxford influence was still upon him. Mrs. Burne-Jones has a happy knack, all the more artful for its extreme simplicity, of hitting off the great men of the day as they come into her circle.”

“No more deeply interesting biography has appeared of late years than this tribute to the memory of Sir Edward Burne-Jones from the pen of his widow. Its one drawback is the fact that the illustrations are not in the least representative of Sir Edward Burne-Jones.”
