Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Religion in Recent Art: Being Expository Lectures on Rossetti, Burne Jones, Watts, Holman Hunt,& Wagner
IT may account for several features, and especially for the style, of the following pages if it be explained that, with the exception of the Sixth Lecture, they were written for a promiscuous audience, to whom they were also, in the simpler parts, spoken. The discourses on the painters arose out of a desire much less ambitious than publication, which was not originally contemplated. They sprang from a desire to lend some help to those Whom it was the writer's business to teach in Spiritual things, and who were much more likely to be grateful for fragments of assistance than critical of blunders on which the clergy of Art might be severe. They were lay sermons.
