'''Jane Burden''' (19 October 1839 – 26 January 1914) was an [[England|English]] [[Model (art)|artists' model]] who [[wikt:embody|embodied]] the [[Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood|Pre-Raphaelite]] [[Ideal (ethics)|ideal]] of [[beauty]]. She was a model and [[muse]] to the artists [[William Morris]], whom she married, and [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]], who may have been her lover.

Jane Burden was born in [[Oxford]] to a [[stable]]man named Robert Burden and his wife Ann Maizey. Around the time she was born, her parents were living at St. Helen's Passage, St Peter in the East, off [[Holywell Street]] in Oxford, since marked with a [[blue plaque]].<ref>Lisle, Nicola, Cinderella story. ''[[Oxfordshire Limited Edition]]'', no. 249, pages 23–25, October 2007.</ref> Her mother Ann was [[wikt:illiterate|illiterate]] and probably came to Oxford as a [[Domestic service|domestic servant]]. Little is known of Jane's childhood, but clearly it was one of [[poverty]] and deprivation.
In October 1857, Jane and her sister Elizabeth, known in the family as "Bessie", were attending a performance in Oxford of the [[Drury Lane]] Theatre Company. Jane was noticed by the [[artist]]s [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]] and [[Edward Burne-Jones]] who belonged to a group of artists painting [[mural]]s based on [[King Arthur|Arthurian]] tales in the [[Oxford Union]]. Struck by Jane's beauty, they sought her to model for them. Jane initially sat mainly for Rossetti, who needed a model for Queen [[Guinevere|Guinivere]]. After this, Jane sat for Morris, who was working on an easel painting, ''La Belle [[Iseult]]'' ([[Tate Gallery]]). Like Rossetti, Morris also used Jane as his model for his rendition of Queen Guinevere. During this period, Morris fell in love with Jane and they were engaged.
Jane's education was extremely limited and she was probably intended to go into [[domestic service]]. After her engagement, Jane was privately educated. Her keen intelligence allowed her essentially to recreate herself. She was a voracious reader and became proficient in [[French language|French]] and later [[Italian language|Italian]]. She also became an accomplished [[pianist]] with a strong background in [[European classical music|classical music]]. Her manners and speech became refined to an extent that contemporaries referred to her as "Queenly". Later in life, she would have no trouble moving in [[upper class]] circles and she appears to have been the model for Mrs Higgins in [[George Bernard Shaw|Bernard Shaw]]'s play ''[[Pygmalion (play)|Pygmalion]]'' (1914).
She married [[William Morris]] at [[St Michael at the Northgate|St Michael's Church]], Oxford, on 26 April 1859. Her father was at that time described as a [[groom]], in stables at 65 [[Holywell Street]], Oxford.

Jane Burden and [[William Morris]] lived firstly at the [[Red House (London)|Red House]] in [[Bexleyheath]], [[Kent]]. While there, they had two daughters, Jane Alice "Jenny", born January 1861, and [[May Morris|Mary "May"]] (March 1862 – 1938), who was the editor of her father's works. They then lived for many years at [[Kelmscott Manor]], on the Gloucestershire-[[Oxfordshire]]-[[Wiltshire]] borders, which is now open to the public. Their lifestyle was both artistic and [[Bohemian style|Bohemian]].
During this time, Jane became closely attached to [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]] and, in addition to being his [[muse]], may have been his lover.
In 1884, Jane met the poet and political activist [[Wilfrid Scawen Blunt]] at a house party given by her close friend [[Rosalind Howard, Countess of Carlisle|Rosalind Howard]] (later Countess of Carlisle). There appears to have been an immediate attraction between the two. By 1887 at the latest, the pair had become lovers.<ref>Mancoff, p.98</ref> Their sexual relationship would continue until 1894, and they remained close friends until Jane's death.
Jane Morris was an ardent supporter of [[Irish Home Rule]].
William Morris died on 3 October 1896 at [[Kelmscott House]], [[Hammersmith]], London. Jane died on 26 January 1914 while staying at 5 Brock Street, [[Bath, Somerset|Bath]].
