George Allen Unwin Ltd., publishers of the only authorized edition of Ruskins works quotations fromModerx Painters, The Art of England Arrows of the Chace Academy Notes. Mr. W. M. Meredith and Messrs. Constable Co., Ltd. The Letters of George Meredith. Mr. W. Trench Fox Memories of Old Friends, by Caroline Fox. Messrs. Methuen Co., Ltd. quotations reprinted from The Life and Letters of Sir J. E. Millais. Messrs. Hodder Stoughton, Ltd. Fifty Tears of Work without Wages, by Charles Rowley. PREFACE: HOLMAN HUNT and his work have been more misunderstood and more misrepresented than has been the case with almost any other painter, and it may possibly therefore astonish some readers to learn that it was he who was the originator and leader of Pre-Raphaelitism, and that Rossetti was not a Pre-Raphaelite at all in the originally accepted meaning of the word. That such is an undoubted fact is evident to all who take the pains to investigate the matter for themselves a biography of Holman Hunt would therefore be seriously defective if it failed to trace out the way in which this painter was related to the other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. It would be equally defective if it omitted to record his motives as an artist, for the life of a great painter is inextricably bound up with his work. And it is all the more important to emphasize this point in these days because the tendency of a certain class of biographers is to dwell persistently upon the trifles of domestic life, especially if they are of a sensational or painful nature, to the exclusion of matters of far greater import with the result that when we have finished their books we know much about the circumstances but little about either the mental develop ment or the inner character of the man or woman whom they have set out to portray...
