Edward Burne-Jones and Morris met as undergraduates at Oxford University, where both studied theology, planning to enter the church. Instead, a mutual love of poetry and medieval art led these lifelong friends toward careers in art, design, and literature. A successful painter, Burne-Jones also contributed to Morris & Co. as a designer of stained glass and tapestry, as well as to the Kelmscott Press as an illustrator of books
