On his famous lecture tour of 1882 Oscar Wilde told Amer-ican audiences about a ‘great English Renaissance of Art’,which had begun with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhoodand was flourishing in the work of their successors. ‘I call itour English Renaissance’, he explained, ‘because it isindeed a new birth of the spirit of man, like the great Ital-ian Renaissance of the fifteenth century’.Victorian artists have often been castigated for theirdependence on prototypes and precedents from the OldMasters. This lecture series takes its cue instead fromWilde, who saw no inconsistency between the idea of a‘new birth’ and the inspiration of the past. With the forma-tion of the National Gallery in 1824, and the subsequentproliferation of exhibitions, reproductions, and scholar-ship on the Old Masters, the art of the past became visibleand accessible as never before. Yet the history of art did notcome ready-made to the Victorians. Such artists as vanEyck, Bellini, Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, andVelázquez came to the National Gallery with the force ofnovelty. They were interpreted by the great Victorian critics, curators, and scholars and perhaps more impor-tantly, as these lectures will argue, by such artists asRossetti, Burne-Jones, Whistler, Millais, and Leighton.The lectures will explore how the art of the past and the artof the present came to illuminate one another in the Victorian period.

Walter CraneThe Arts and Crafts, Painting and Politics,1875–1890

Morna O’Neill

Walter Crane (1845–1915) was one of the mostimportant, versatile and radical artists of thenineteenth century: a painter, decorator,designer, book illustrator, poet, author, teacher,art theorist and socialist. Crane’s astonishinglydiverse body of work challenged the establish-ment, artistically and politically. In thisoriginal and carefully researched new study,Morna O’Neill presents a fascinating portraitof an artist who used his talent and energy todismantle the traditional boundaries betweenfine art and decorative art, between elite andpopular, between art and propaganda. Crane’senduring influence is felt on many levels, andsignificant new research in this book uncoversthe magnificent breadth of his artistic practice.The finest book illustrator of the Victorian era,he revolutionised that field. A friend and asso-ciate of William Morris, his work embodiedArts and Crafts ideals. A lifelong political radical, he invented the iconography of Englishsocialism. By reconsidering his politics andreintegrating it with his art, Crane emerges inthis book as a unique figure, an artist whotranslated ‘art for art’s sake’ into ‘art for all’.

Morna O’Neill is Mellon Assistant Professor ofNineteenth-Century European Art, VanderbiltUniversity, Nashville, Tennessee.

The Edwardian Sense: Art, Design, and Performance in Britain, 1901–1910

edited by Morna O’Neill & Michael Hatt

Although numerous studies have explored theEdwardian period, 1901-1910, as one of political and social change, this innovative bookis the first to explore how art, design, and performance not only registered those changesbut helped to precipitate them. While acknowl-edging familiar divisions between thehighbrow world of aesthetic theory and thepopular delights of the music hall, or betweenthe neo-Baroque magnificence of centralLondon and the slums of the East End, TheEdwardian Sense also discusses the middlebrowculture that characterizes the anonymous edgeof the city. Essays are divided into three sec-tions under the broad headings of spectacle,setting, and place, which reflect the book’sfocus on the visual, spatial, and geographic perspectives of the Edwardians themselves.Essays by Tim Barringer, Gillian Beer,Christopher Breward, Martina Droth,Bronwen Edwards, David Gilbert, TomGunning, Imogen Hart, Michael Hatt, AnneHelmreich, Lynda Nead, Morna O’Neill,Barbara Penner and Charles Rice, ChristopherReed, Deborah Sugg Ryan, AndrewStephenson, and Angus Trumble.

Above the BattlefieldBritish Modernism and the Peace Movement,1900–1918

Grace Brockington

This book explores the role of artists and writers in the formation of a modern, secularpeace movement in Britain, and the impact ofideas about ‘positive peace’ on their artistic prac-tice. Previous studies have focused on theviolence implicit in modernism, and on the dis-integration of the avant-garde in Britain at theoutbreak of war, but Grace Brockington arguesthat ‘pacifist modernism’ flourished before 1914,and that it survived during the war through anetwork of dissident cultural communities.

Two such groupings—Bloomsbury, and apreviously unrecognised circle of artists, writ-ers and performers based around the MargaretMorris Theatre in Chelsea—are the focus ofthis study. Brockington reveals the expectationof an international cultural Renaissance thatmotivated the Edwardian avant-garde, and thatmilitated against conflict in 1914. She refutesthe assumption that the Bloomsburies failedduring the war, whether in their duty to theircountry or as a force for change. Rather, sheargues that they demonstrated an active, prin-cipled and audaciously public commitment topacifism. Her analysis of the Chelsea circledraws on a wealth of new material about exper-imental performance during the war,overturning the convention that avant-gardetheatre was moribund after 1914.

Decorating the ‘Godly’ HouseholdReligious Art in Post-Reformation Britain

Tara Hamling

The Reformation is generally regarded as acalamitous episode in the history of British art,with the rich artistic heritage of the medievalperiod eradicated and replaced by an austereProtestant culture of the word. This compellingnew study presents a wealth of visual evidenceto argue that religious subject matter was com-mon in the arts of Protestant Britain. TaraHamling examines decorative features from his-toric houses throughout England and Scotlandand identifies a significant but overlooked trendin the history of British art. She reveals a wide-spread fashion for large-scale religious imageryin houses owned by the gentry and prosperousmiddle classes during the period 1560–1660.The book is illustrated with narrative imageryin wall painting, plasterwork, carved wood andstone and objects including furniture, textilesand ceramics. The character of this ‘decorative’art is explored in relation to the functions ofrooms in the domestic interior with a focus onhow religious imagery might inform and sup-port spiritual activities taking place within thehome. The visual evidence throughout the bookis supported by extracts from contemporarytexts. Far from being hostile towards images,many Protestant patrons continued to commis-sion traditional religious art to decorate theirhouses, the imagery used to support Protestanthabits of thought and behaviour.

Tara Hamling is a RCUK / Roberts ResearchFellow in the Department of History,University of Birmingham, and a Fellow of theShakespeare Institute.

John Singer SargentFigures and Landscapes, 1883–1899The Complete Paintings Volume 5

Richard Ormond and Elaine Kilmurray

The fifth volume of the John Singer Sargentcatalogue raisonné encompasses a remarkablyproductive span in the beloved Americanpainter’s life. The young artist moved fromParis to London during this period and successfully ignited his career as a portraitist,and this time also marked his experimentationwith Impressionist techniques. These pagescontain the first detailed account of Sargent’srelationship with Claude Monet, including let-ters – most published for the first time here –from the artist to the great Impressionist. Thisexquisitely illustrated volume also covers theperiod when Sargent journeyed to Egypt,Greece, Turkey, Spain, North Africa and Italyin search of inspiration for a mural cycle com-missioned by the Boston Public Library. Theworks he painted as source material includedhere stand in stark contrast to the sensuous,painterly exercises of the early and mid-eighties, underlining his versatility and artisticreach. As in the previous volumes in this series,the images in this book are reproduced in fullcolour and documented in depth, with completeprovenance, exhibition history and bibliogra-phy, and are accompanied by relevant studiesand related drawings.

A great-nephew of John Singer Sargent,Richard Ormond is a Sargent scholar and anart historian. Elaine Kilmurray is researchdirector of the Sargent catalogue raisonné.

The CharterhouseSurvey of London

Philip Temple

A fully illustrated, comprehensive record ofLondon’s medieval Charterhouse, from itsfoundation in the fourteenth century to thepresent day, presented by the Survey of Londonteam. Founded as a Carthusian priory in thefourteenth century, the Charterhouse is a mag-nificent complex of historic buildings in theCity of London. Since the Dissolution of theMonasteries, it has functioned as a privatemansion, a hospital, a school, and analmshouse, a role it still fulfills today. Locatedwithin the area covered by the Clerkenwell volumes of the Survey, it was too substantial ahistoric topic for inclusion in the regular vol-umes, and so is one of the occasional series ofmonographs that support the main series. Thebook includes original research, new photography and previously unpublishedinventories.

Philip Temple is a member of the Survey ofLondon staff within English Heritage inLondon.

Ford Madox Brown A Catalogue Raisonné Mary Bennett

Ford Madox Brown (1821-1893) is known predominantly for his closeassociation, from 1848, with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and for hismasterpiece, The Last of England (1852-5), with its poignant imagery ofa young emigrant couple aboard ship taking their last sight of home –portraits of the artist himself and his wife. This fully illustrated catalogue provides the first complete coverage of all of Madox Brown’swork. Madox Brown’s early works were admired by the young DanteGabriel Rossetti, through whom he came into contact with the artists ofthe Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This association was to confirm hisown interests and experiments in outdoor light effects and led to theglowing palette of his great paintings of the 1850s: Work, An EnglishAutumn Afternoon and The Last of England. His interests also embraceddecorative design and in the 1860s he was a founder member of the nowfamous decorating firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. All aspectsof his documented work, extant or now lost-sight-of, are presented inthis magnificent catalogue, which includes a section on Madox Brown’sframe designs (by Lynn Roberts). The artist’s diary and his largelyunpublished correspondence with associates and patrons provide a fascinating insight into his ideas and plan of work. A tour de force ofscholarship, this book will be of immense value to all scholars of nineteenth-century British art.
