Book Overview

The book ""Life And Work Of J. M. W. Turner"" was written by Charles Alfred Swinburne in 1902. It is a comprehensive biography of Joseph Mallord William Turner, a British artist who is widely regarded as one of the greatest painters of all time.

He also explores Turner's personal life, including his relationships with women, his financial struggles, and his reputation as a difficult and sometimes volatile personality. The book is written in a lyrical and poetic style, reflecting Swinburne's own background as a poet and writer. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and work of J. M. W.
