Description:
The only volume to comprehensively bring together developments from different disciplines that address the complex interplay between British Romantic literature and the visual arts
Brief description: Maureen McCue is former Senior Lecturer in nineteenth-century British Literature at Bangor University (UK). She is the author of British Romanticism and the Reception of Italian Old Master Art, 1793-1840 (Ashgate, 2014), which was short-listed for the British Association of Romantic Studies First Book Prize (2015). She has published essays on Romantic periodicals, the development of the National Gallery in London, Anglo-Italian relations and illustrations. Her current project, funded in part by the British Academy/Leverhulme Small Research Grant, examines how the rich ecology of women's visual lives determined the period's wider print culture.
Review Quotes: At last, proper emphasis is given to the interaction between print and the visual cultures of the Romantic period. Wonderfully comprehensive and authoritative, ranging from aesthetic discourse through exhibition practices, popular spectacle, the print shop, illustration, magazine culture and the afterlife of Romanticism in film. Inspirational and indispensable in equal measure.--Nicola Watson, Open University
