Governing Cultures Art Institutions in Victorian London
Produktdetaljer
'... a must-have for anyone seriously studying or documenting the history of nineteenth-century institutional tastes.' Nineteenth Century Studies 'One of the main assests of Governing Cultures lies in the sheer amount of new information and insight that it yields about important but often hard-to-research or relatively short-lived (even esoteric) institutions... In all cases, the authors do much more than marshal facts; they also offer new and compelling perspectives on how culture was aesthetically absorbed, transformed, and disseminated by Victorian artists, critics, dealers, the public at large. In addition, the extensive bibliography is extremely useful, and the entire book qualifies as a must-have for anyone seriously studying or documenting the history of nineteenth-century institutional tastes.' Susan P. Casteras Nineteenth Century Studies, 2002
