Kenan Malik visits a major new exhibition of the work of John Everett Millais, the Victorian artist who was a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite group. His paintings such as Shakespeare's Ophelia floating in the water have become some of the best known images of mid-19th century Britain. Kenan explores Millais' famous, and at the time controversial, life and work. Plus an interview with influential writer Karen Armstrong, who talks about her new book The Bible: A Biography.
