Picturing Reform in Victorian Britain: Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture, cartea 79

Autor Janice Carlisle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mar 2015
How did Victorians, as creators and viewers of images, visualize the politics of franchise reform? This study of Victorian art and parliamentary politics, specifically in the 1840s and 1860s, answers that question by viewing the First and Second Reform Acts from the perspectives offered by Ruskin's political theories of art and Bagehot's visual theory of politics. Combining subjects and approaches characteristic of art history, political history, literary criticism and cultural critique, Picturing Reform in Victorian Britain treats both paintings and wood engravings, particularly those published in Punch and the Illustrated London News. Carlisle analyzes unlikely pairings - a novel by Trollope and a painting by Hayter, an engraving after Leech and a high-society portrait by Landseer - to argue that such conjunctions marked both everyday life in Victorian Britain and the nature of its visual politics as it was manifested in the myriad heterogeneous and often incongruous images of illustrated journalism.

Recenzii

'A long overdue translation of visual culture from the margins to the centre of discussion of reform.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Skilfully juxtaposing a wide range of sources, from frescoes to wood engravings, Janice Carlisle in her latest book demonstrates why and how Victorian visual culture could do 'political work'. [Her] close scrutiny of both images and texts allows her to trace surprising links between media … Carlisle has spent many hours poring over the sources she discusses; her readings of them are rich and unexpected.' Jo Briggs, Victorian Studies
