Description
Focuses on Edward Burne-Jones's illustration of HF in the Kelmscott Chaucer (1896) to show "that Burne-Jones was attuned to the scientific discourse of his time," arguing that the book "provided the context and impetus to visualize, in distilled form, some of the complex relationships between natural change and human activity that his contemporaries were beginning to consider."
