Desperate Romantics (2009)
Manage episode 322859884 series 3327363
For this episode, Helen Victoria Murray and I revisited Desperate Romantics (2009), the show that made a generation of teens (or maybe just us) fall in love with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. We discussed the differences between Victorian fame and 2000s celebrity, the relationship between aesthetics and accuracy in artists' biographies, and all the ways in which William Morris deserves better.
