The daughter of a groom, she devoted most of her life to having the vapors and impersonating one of those large-eyed, long-necked ladies in the once admired paintings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. In fact, it was Rossetti who persuaded Jane to marry Morris. Small wonder that Morris came to regard his devious painter pal as "sometimes an angel, sometimes a damned scoundrel...
