Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Reprinting and the Embodied Book Jessica DeSpain, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA

‘Jessica DeSpain brings together an intriguing combination of works by Charles Dickens, Susan Warner, Fanny Kemble, and Walt Whitman to produce a rich understanding of the culture of reprinting. The result is a thought-provoking and informative exploration of reprinting and textual adaptation in a transatlantic context.’

Christine Bold, University of Guelph, Canada

Jessica DeSpain examines reprints by Charles Dickens, Susan Warner, Fanny Kemble and Walt Whitman to theorize the ongoing transatlantic transformation of texts that took place before adoption of the Chace Act of 1891. As authors, readers, and publishers struggled with the unpredictability of the textual body, the physical book and the physical body became metaphors of flux, and discourses of destabilized bodies inflected issues essential to transatlantic culture, including class, gender, religion and slavery.

Performing Authorship in the Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Lecture Tour Amanda Adams, Muskingum University, USA

‘Each chapter of Amanda Adams’s engaging book tells an interesting story about the emergence of literary celebrity in the second half of the nineteenth century and about the ways in which public performance represented an attempt to control textual reputations.’

Andrew Taylor, University of Edinburgh, UK

Expanding our understanding of what it meant to be a nineteenth-century author, Amanda Adams takes up the concept of performative, embodied authorship in relationship to the transatlantic lecture tour. Adams examines tours by British and American authors, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Martineau, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde, arguing that these tours were a central aspect of nineteenth-century authorship at a time when authors were becoming celebrities and celebrities were international.

ASHGATE SERIES IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY TRANSATLANTIC STUDIESSeries Editors: Kevin Hutchings, University of Northern British Columbia, Canada and Julia M. Wright, Dalhousie University, Canada

Focusing on the long nineteenth century (ca. 1750–1900), this series offers a forum for the publication of scholarly work investigating the literary, historical, artistic, and philosophical foundations of transatlantic culture. A vital field of interdisciplinary investigation, transatlantic scholarship contextualizes its objects of study in relation to exchanges, interactions, and negotiations that occurred between and among authors and other artists hailing from both sides of the Atlantic. As a result, transatlantic research calls into question established disciplinary boundaries that have long functioned to segregate various national or cultural literatures and art forms, challenging as well the traditional academic emphasis upon periodization and canonization. By examining representations dealing with such topics as travel and exploration, migration and diaspora, slavery, aboriginal culture, revolution, colonialism and anti-colonial resistance, the series offers new insights into the hybrid or intercultural basis of transatlantic identity, politics, and aesthetics.

The editors invite English language studies focusing on any area of the long nineteenth century, including (but not limited to) innovative works spanning transatlantic Romantic and Victorian contexts. Manuscripts focusing on European, African, US American, Canadian, Caribbean, Central and South American, and Indigenous literature, art, and culture are welcome. We will consider proposals for monographs, collaborative books, and edited collections.

Adaptation, Intermediality and the British Celebrity Biopic Edited by Márta Minier, University of South Wales, UK and Maddalena Pennacchia, Roma Tre University, Italy

Beginning with the premise that the biopic is a form of adaptation and an example of intermediality, this collection examines the multiplicity of ‘source texts’ and the concurrent issues of celebrity, fidelity and authenticity that accompany this genre. Offering case studies of film biographies of literary icons, royals and other famous individuals, the essays explore issues of production and consumption, generic fluidity and hybridity, and the biopic’s myth-making and myth-breaking potential.

American Environmental Fiction, 1782–1847 Matthew Wynn Sivils, Iowa State University, USA

‘Sivils set out to draw attention to a literature that has been largely overlooked in the formation of the American literary canon. In this he succeeds admirably. As a children’s literature scholar, I am delighted to see works aimed at children incorporated into such a study … Overall, this is a very welcome study which finds the balance between the general and the particular. I might also add that it is extremely pleasurable to read.’

International Research Society for Children’s Literature

Situating the origins of American environmental fiction in early Republic natural histories, Indian captivity narratives, juvenile literature, and the subsequent development of a uniquely American brand of environmental fiction that began with James Fenimore Cooper’s The Pioneers, Matthew Wynn Sivils argues that these works of early environmental thought contributed to a growing cultural conception of the environment’s importance in shaping the identity of the fledgling nation decades before the influences of Emerson’s Nature and Thoreau’s Walden.

Anglo-American Women Writers and Representations of Indianness, 1629–1824 Cathy Rex, University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, USA

Comparing representations of Indianness by Anglo-American engravers and later by early Anglo-American women writers, Cathy Rex shows that iconic images of Native figures informed both the early republican American identity and the authorial identity of women writers like Mary Rowlandson and Lydia Maria Child. By contextualizing these well-known narratives and images as constitutive of one another, Rex brings a new, more textually inclusive perspective to the field of early American studies.

The Art of Adapting Victorian Literature, 1848–1920 Dramatizing Jane Eyre, David Copperfield, and The Woman in WhiteKaren E. Laird

In The Art of Adapting Victorian Literature, 1848–1920, Karen E. Laird alternates between readings of nineteenth-century stage and twentieth-century silent film adaptations to demonstrate the working practices of the first adapters of Victorian fiction. Focusing on Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield, and Wilkie Collins’s The Woman in White, Laird charts a new cultural history of literary adaptation as it developed throughout the long nineteenth-century.




Authority in Crisis in French Literature, 1850–1880 Seth Whidden, Villanova University, USA

‘Intelligent and well-argued, Seth Whidden’s book deftly combines literary, political, and historical considerations to examine literary authority in nineteenth-century France.’

Joseph Acquisto, University of Vermont, USA

Considering the crises of literary authority in nineteenth-century French literature against the backdrop of the Second Empire (1852–1870) and the aftermath of the bloody Paris Commune of 1871, Seth Whidden focuses on the phenomena-literary collaboration, parody, destabilized poetic form, the substitution of one poetic or narrative voice with that of the many-that enabled challenges to the traditional status of the writer and, by extension, the political authority that it reflected.



The Beach in Anglophone Literatures and Cultures Reading Littoral SpaceEdited by Ursula Kluwick and Virginia Richter, both at the University of Bern, Switzerland

Conceptualising the beach as a creative trope and as a socio-cultural site, this collection examines its multiplicity of meanings and functions as a natural environment engendering both desire and fear in the human imagination from the Victorian period to the present. The contributors examine literature, film and art, as well as moments of encounter and environmental crisis, highlighting the beach as a social space and vacationscape, as a geographical frontier between land and water, and as an historical site of contact and conflict.

Bluestockings Now! The Evolution of a Social RoleEdited by Deborah Heller, Western New Mexico University, USA

BRITISH LITERATURE IN CONTEXT IN THE LONG EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

‘This excellent volume of new research on the Bluestocking phenomenon makes an exciting intervention in the field of eighteenth-century literary studies.’

Elizabeth Eger, King’s College London, UK

Challenging the theory that the Bluestockings spanned only the period from the 1750s through the 1790s, this collection argues for a new vision of the Bluestockings as belonging to a chain of interconnected networks that can be traced from the early eighteenth century to the present. The contributors explore the activities of the Bluestockings in a variety of cultural and social realms, trace their influence through the nineteenth century, and propose that Bluestocking practice be reinvented in the present.

Britain and the Narration of Travel in the Nineteenth Century Texts, Images, ObjectsEdited by Kate Hill, University of Lincoln, UK

This interdisciplinary collection examines the personal, public, and imperial modalities of nineteenth-century travel. Whether focusing on tourism, exploration, art, literature, technology, or material culture, these essays show how multiple narratives circulated, cross-fertilised, and reacted to one another to produce new narratives, new objects, and new modes of travel.

British Sporting Literature and Culture in the Long Eighteenth Century Edited by Sharon Harrow, Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, USA

BRITISH LITERATURE IN CONTEXT IN THE LONG EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

Examining the underexplored intersection of sport, literature, and culture, this collection situates sport within multiple contexts, including religion, labor, leisure time, politics, nationalism, gender, play and science. A poetics, literature and culture of sport swelled during the era, influencing artists such as John Collett and writers including Lord Byron, Jonathan Swift and Henry Fielding. Taken together, the essays offer valuable multiple perspectives on reading sport during the century when sport became modern.




British Women Writers and the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1785–1835 Re-Orienting Anglo-IndiaKathryn S. Freeman, University of Miami, USA

Tracing the literary relationship between British women and the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Kathryn Freeman argues that women writers, distinct from their male counterparts, interrogated Orientalist distortions of India through the lens of gender. Her study invites us to rethink the Romantic paradigm of canonical writers as replicators of Orientalists’ cultural imperialism in favor of a more complicated stance that accommodates the differences between male and female authors with respect to India.



Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations A Cultural Life, 1860–2012Mary Hammond, University of Southampton, UK

ASHGATE STUDIES IN PUBLISHING HISTORY: MANUSCRIPT, PRINT, DIGITAL

‘Great expectations are here fulsomely rewarded. Hammond’s sprightly exposition combines prodigious research with acute interpretation. The combination yields many surprises and revisions of the story of Dickens’s reception and re-mediation over the last 150 years. Not to be missed by anyone interested in book and media history’.

Robert L. Patten, Rice University, USA

As Mary Hammond observes in her wide-ranging publishing history of the novel, Great Expectations’ life has extended far beyond the literary Anglophone world and owes a great deal to a particular moment in the mid-Victorian publishing industry. Her book features an exhaustive survey of the novel’s different appearances in serial, book and dramatic form and is enhanced by appendices with archival information, contemporary reviews and a comprehensive bibliography of editions and adaptations.

In Dickens and the Imagined Child, leading scholars explore the function of the child and childhood within Dickens’s imagination and reflect on the cultural resonance of his engagement with this topic. Part I begins by proposing a typology of the Dickensian child that is followed by discussions of specific child characters, while Part II focuses on the relationship between childhood and memory and Part III addresses childhood reading and writing.

Fatherhood, Authority, and British Reading Culture, 1831–1907 Melissa Shields Jenkins, Wake Forest University, USA

‘This is a distinctly new kind of book on fatherhood: an innovative study of the troubled relations between real and fictional fathers and sons, and the extra-literary texts that shaped them. Juxtaposing J.S. Mill and Max Weber, Melissa Jenkins’s lively and provocative analysis tracks shifting notions of patriarchal authority from Gaskell to Gosse through engagement with conduct books and family prayers, palimpsests and science writing, to create an “idea of the father” perpetually under reconstruction.’

Valerie Sanders, University of Hull, UK

In analyzing the evolution of patriarchal authority in nineteenth-century culture, Melissa Shields Jenkins argues that Victorian novelists found new models within non-narrative forms such as conduct books, biography, religious manuals, political speeches and professional writing in the fields of history and science. Jenkins’s book contributes to our understanding of the part played by fathers in the Victorian cultural imagination, and sheds new light on the structures underlying the Victorian novel.



George Augustus Sala and the Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press The Personal Style of a Public WriterPeter Blake, University of Brighton, UK

In his study of the journalist George Augustus Sala, Peter Blake shows how Sala’s personal style and innovations in form influenced the New Journalism at the end of the nineteenth century. Blake’s book expands our understanding of one of the more prominent and interesting journalists and personalities of the nineteenth century, while also shedding light on prominent nineteenth-century writers and artists such as Charles Dickens, Mathew Arnold, William Powell Frith, Henry Vizetelly and Mary Elizabeth Braddon.




British Hymn Books for Children, 1800–1900 Re-Tuning the History of ChildhoodAlisa Clapp-Itnyre, Indiana University East, USA

Examining nineteenth-century British hymns for children, Alisa Clapp-Itnyre argues that the unique qualities of children’s hymnody created a space for children’s empowerment. As Clapp-Itnyre shows, the agency afforded children as singers meant that they were actively engaged with the text, music, and pictures of their hymnals. Informed by extensive archival research, British Hymn Books for Children, 1800–1900 brings this understudied genre of Victorian culture to critical light.

Includes 20 b&w illustrations and 6 tables



Representing Children in Chinese and U.S. Children’s Literature Edited by Claudia Nelson and Rebecca Morris, both at Texas A&M University, USA

‘… a wide-ranging, and multi-dimensional volume, and a valuable resource for students and critics seeking an introduction into the overarching ideas and interactions of these two national traditions.’

International Research Society for Children’s Literature

Bringing together children’s literature scholars from China and the United States, this collection provides an introduction to the scope and goals of a field characterized by active but also distinctive scholarship in two countries with very different rhetorical traditions. Wide-ranging and ambitious in its encouragement of communication between Chinese and American children’s literature scholars, this collection is a model for examining how and why children’s literature, more than many literary forms, circulates internationally.



Space and Place in Children’s Literature, 1789 to the Present Edited by Maria Sachiko Cecire, Bard College, USA, Hannah Field, University of Lincoln, UK, Kavita Mudan Finn, Southern New Hampshire University, USA and Malini Roy

Focusing on questions of space and locale in children’s literature, this collection explores how metaphorical and physical space can create landscapes of power, knowledge, and identity in texts from the early nineteenth century to the present. The contributors, who include Philip Pullman discussing his relationship to space and locale, analyze works from a range of sources and traditions by Sylvia Plath, Gloria Anzaldúa, Jenny Robson, C.S. Lewis, and Elizabeth Knox, among others.

Literary Studies

George Eliot, Poetess Wendy S. Williams, Texas Christian University, USA

The position of George Eliot’s poetry within Victorian poetry and within her own canon is crucial for an accurate picture of the writer, as Wendy S. Williams shows in her in-depth examination of Eliot’s poetry and her role as poetess. Williams examines Eliot’s poetry in relationship to her gender and sexual politics and her shifting religious beliefs, arguing that Eliot’s adoption of the poetess persona reveals her commitment to help refine society through compassion and fellow-feeling.



The Idea of Europe in British Travel Narratives, 1789–1914 Katarina Gephardt, Kennesaw State University, USA

Showing how specific rhetorical strategies used in nineteenth-century British travel writing produced fictional representations of continental Europe in works by Ann Radcliffe, Lord Byron, Charles Dickens, and Bram Stoker, Katarina Gephardt argues that nineteenth-century writers envisioned their country simultaneously as distinct from the Continent and as a part of Europe. She suggests that their imaginative geography of Europe anticipated Britain’s ambivalence about European integration.




Jane Austen and the Reformation Remembering the Sacred LandscapeRoger E. Moore, Vanderbilt University, USA

Drawing attention to the medieval churches and abbeys that appear frequently in Jane Austen’s novels, Moore argues that these sacred spaces are not merely picturesque backgrounds but tangible reminders of the past that raise important social and economic questions and align her with a long tradition of nostalgia for the medieval sacred landscape. Moore’s juxtaposition of Austen’s novels with sixteenth- and seventeenth-century texts reveals Austen’s engagement with the long national conversation about the meaning and consequences of the Reformation.




Les Misérables and Its Afterlives Between Page, Stage, and ScreenEdited by Kathryn M. Grossman, Pennsylvania State University, USA and Bradley Stephens, University of Bristol, UK

Exploring the enduring popularity of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, this collection combines readings of the best-selling novel with reflections on how it has permeated the popular imagination through a selection of its multimedia adaptations including musical theater and film from the silent period to today’s digital platforms. The essays deepen our understanding of Les Misérables as a work that blends social commentary with artistic vision and raise important questions about the cultural practice of adaptation.




Memorializing Animals during the Romantic Period Chase Pielak, Ashford University, USA

In his study of the presence of animals in early nineteenth-century works by Charles and Mary Lamb, John Clare, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Lord Byron, Chase Pielak observes that images of dead and deadly animals coincided with questions about what constitutes human life and its boundaries. He argues that each author uses language that ultimately betrays itself to expose beastly disruptions that not only startle the authors themselves but serve as landmarks within Romantic literature.



The Objects and Textures of Everyday Life in Imperial Britain Edited by Deirdre H. McMahon, Drexel University, USA and Janet C. Myers, Elon University, USA

Focusing on everyday life in nineteenth-century Britain and its imperial possessions – from preparing tea to cleaning the kitchen, from packing for imperial adventures to arranging home décor – the essays in this collection analyze the idiosyncratic and ideological contours of materiality, thus demonstrating how the use of nitty-gritty elements influenced the ways that tenets of domesticity were established as central to individual happiness, national security, and imperial hegemony.




Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell Edited by Lesa Scholl, Emmanuel College, University of Queensland, Australia, Emily Morris, University of Saskatchewan, Canada and Sarina Gruver Moore, Calvin College, USA

‘This fine collection of essays, timed perfectly to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Gaskell’s death, will reach a broad audience from undergraduates to post-graduate researchers.’

Deirdre d’Albertis, Bard College, USA

Building on theories of space and place, this collection examines the global reach of Elizabeth Gaskell’s influence and places her work within the narrative of British letters and narrative identity. In keeping with the theme of progress and change, the essays follow parallel narratives that acknowledge both the angst and nostalgia produced by industrial progress and the excitement and awe occasioned by the potential of the empire.




Reading Dante Gabriel Rossetti The Painter as PoetBrian Donnelly, University of California, USA

‘This well-researched and erudite book will appeal to both Rossetti specialists and a broader audience of Victorian scholars. Dealing with both art and literature, Reading Dante Gabriel Rossetti excels in close visual and textual readings and offers fresh insights into the work of the painter-poet.’

Amelia Yeates, Liverpool Hope University, UK

Suggesting that Rossetti’s work should be approached through his poetry, Brian Donnelly argues that it is both inscribed by and inscribes the development of verbal as well as visual culture in the Victorian period. He situates Rossetti’s poetry as the key to all of his work and central in its representation of the dominant discourses of the Victorian era: faith, sex, consumption, death, and the nature of representation itself.

Includes 15 colour and 1 b&w illustrations



Romantic Naturalists, Early Environmentalists An Ecocritical Study, 1789–1912Dewey W. Hall, California State Polytechnic University, USA

‘This book brings a historical perspective to the most important discussion of our time. It takes the observation and recording of natural phenomena by Gilbert White in eighteenth century Southern England as its starting point, showing how this seemingly simple activity influenced thinking through the nineteenth century. Dewey W. Hall clearly demonstrates the influence of the new sciences such as meteorology on the literature of two hundred years ago.’

Jeff Cowton, Wordsworth Trust, UK

In his study of Romantic naturalists and early environmentalists, Hall claims the creation of the National Trust in the United Kingdom and the National Parks in the United States were both shaped by literature. Central to Hall’s project are links among Gilbert White, William Wordsworth, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Octavia Hill and John Muir in the context of the vexed relationship between the ecosystem and the machine during the nineteenth century.





Literary Studies

Shelley’s Radical Stages Performance and Cultural Memory in the Post-Napoleonic EraDana Van Kooy, Michigan Technological University, USA

Dana Van Kooy draws critical attention to Percy Bysshe Shelley as a dramatist and argues that his dramas represent a critical paradigm of romanticism in which history is ‘staged’. This book examines each of Shelley’s dramas as a radical cultural performance that reformulates the familiar experiences of war, revolution, slavery and domestic tyranny. It also makes clear how Shelley as a writer was engaged in nineteenth-century theatre, print politics, and the political protests that followed in the aftermath of Waterloo.




Staging the Peninsular War English Theatres 1807–1815Susan Valladares, Worcester College, University of Oxford, UK

‘… Drawing upon innovative archival research, this study confirms the centrality of theatre and the impact of Iberian cultures in early nineteenth-century Britain. Valladares’s carefully researched and convincingly argued volume is an invaluable contribution to the study of the politics of the early nineteenth-century stage and, more generally, to the fields of Romantic Anglo-Hispanic and Anglo-Portuguese Studies.’

Diego Saglia, University of Parma, Italy

In her study of English theatre during the Peninsular War, Susan Valladares contextualizes the theatrical treatment of the war within the larger political and ideological axes of Romantic performance. From its nuanced reading of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s Pizarro (1799), to its accounts of wartime productions of Shakespeare, description of performances at the minor theatres, and detailed case study of dramatic culture in Bristol, Valladares’s book reveals how theatrical entertainments reflected and shaped public feeling on the Peninsular campaign.




Street Ballads in Nineteenth-Century Britain, Ireland, and North America The Interface between Print and Oral TraditionsEdited by David Atkinson, University of Aberdeen, UK and Steve Roud

‘This is a well-balanced collection, exhibiting throughout the results of careful research, drawing considered conclusions. Ballad studies are thriving, and it is a welcome addition to the field.’

Folk Music Journal

In recent years, the assumption that traditional songs originated from a primarily oral tradition has been challenged by research into ‘street literature’. Not only are some traditional singers known to have learned songs from printed sources, but most of the songs were composed by professional writers. This volume engages with the long-running debate over the origin of traditional songs by examining street literature’s interaction with and influence on oral traditions.

Wild Animal Skins in Victorian Britain Zoos, Collections, Portraits, and MapsAnn C. Colley, State University College of New York, USA

‘Ann Colley’s magisterial Wild Animal Skins in Victorian Britain brilliantly explores the Victorians’ fascination with wild skins. Reading this book, we are changed not only by its wide-ranging erudition, but by its moral vision. Like Edward Lear – who, Colley argues, in both his nonsense verses and his natural history illustrations offered a “glimpse of a creature’s subjectivity” – we may find that nonhuman animal minds make us feel uneasy in our own skins.’

Deborah Denenholz Morse, The College of William and Mary, USA

In her study of the challenges, preoccupations, and disordered circumstances that attended Great Britain’s amassing of wild skins, Ann C. Colley makes extensive use of archival materials, as well as of recent theories concerning skin and touch, to examine the collecting and exhibiting practices of individuals, museums, and a provincial zoo. She focuses on issues of empire, representation, and natural history to examine the meaning, metaphoric uses, and cognitive function of skin for the Victorian public.

Exploring the place of nature in Victorian women’s poetry, Fabienne Moine examines the work of canonical poets such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti, that of lesser-known writers such as Mary Howitt and Eliza Cook, and the verse of non-professional poets who have received little critical attention. Moine shows that these women reconstructed the natural world in poems that raise questions about the validity and the scope of cultural representations of nature, questioning the social practices that mould and fossilise cultural identities.



Written Maternal Authority and Eighteenth-Century Education in Britain Educating by the BookRebecca Davies, Loughborough University, UK

Arguing that the location of idealised maternity for women is in the act of writing educational discourse rather than in the physical performance of the maternal role, Davies plots the formation of a written paradigm of maternal education that associates maternity with educational authority. She examines a wide range of genres by authors that include Samuel Richardson, Mary Wollstonecraft, Maria Edgeworth and Jane Austen.

Literary Studies

Decadent Romanticism: 1780–1914 Edited by Kostas Boyiopoulos and Mark Sandy, Durham University, UK

‘Alert to Romanticism’s prescience in contemplating the excesses of its own decaying other self, the 12 essays gathered in this timely collection embrace the dark splendors and dying glories that connect Romanticism and fin-de-siècle decadence in British and European literature and culture. Spanning the period from Baillie and Byron, Coleridge and Keats to Swinburne, Symons, and Wilde, the book is packed with new insights into Romanticism’s strange legacies to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries’.

Nicholas Roe, University of St Andrews, Scotland

For all its strong reactions against Romanticism, Decadence shared with the period a mutual distrust of the philosophy of utilitarianism and the aesthetics of neo-Classicism. Decadent Romanticism reflects on the interstices between Romantic and Decadent literature and explores these movements’ obsessions with subjectivity, isolation, addiction, fragmentation, representation, romance, and voyeurism, as well as a poetics of desire and anxieties over the purpose of aestheticism.




Dickens, Reynolds, and Mayhew on Wellington Street The Print Culture of a Victorian StreetMary L. Shannon, University of Roehampton, UK

‘Mary L. Shannon’s informative book offers an entirely new way to think about print culture. In focusing on Wellington Street off the Strand, where important Victorian writers such as Dickens, Mayhew, and Reynolds maintained their offices, she demonstrates the significance of geography for understanding the print networks that developed in midcentury London.’

Anne Humpherys, City University of New York, USA,

Between 1843 and 1853, Household Words, Reynolds’s Weekly Newspaper, the Examiner, Punch, and the serial edition of London Labour and the London Poor were all published from Wellington Street off the Strand, which housed the offices of Charles Dickens, G.W.M. Reynolds and Henry Mayhew. Shannon examines the implications of their close proximity for the editors themselves, for nineteenth-century publishing, and for the reading public.




The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination Beryl Gray

‘This book informs and entertains. Unlike some monographs these days, its title really does identify its subject: the Dickensian imagination. Gray understands her charge to encompass both what ardent Dickensians relish – details of Dickens’s life – and what many Dickens scholars seek, an enlarged and nuanced comprehension of his fecund imagination.’

Review 19

In her study of Dickens’s relationship to canines, Gray shows that dogs, real and invented, were intrinsic to Dickens’s vision and experience of London and its representation. She makes use of personal reminiscences, periodicals, images of dogs by portrait artists and Dickens’s illustrators, and institutional archives to shed light not only on Dickens’s life and works, but also on his society’s complex and conflicting perceptions of and attitudes towards dogs.




The Neglected Shelley Edited by Alan M. Weinberg, University of South Africa and Timothy Webb, University of Bristol, UK

‘These erudite and critically attentive essays convince us of the lasting significance of Shelley’s less familiar poetical and prose works, as much as they render unfamiliar the better known passages and ideas in Shelley’s poetry and prose. With assured critical purpose, the collection challenges and revises our preconceptions about Shelley’s attitudes towards antiquity, European culture, the gothic, nationhood, and ethnicity, as well as his practices as a poet and commitment to the medium of prose. The Neglected Shelley signals vitally innovative directions in the field of Shelley studies for years to come’.

Mark Sandy, Durham University, UK

Building on the work begun in Weinberg and Webb’s 2009 collection, The Unfamiliar Shelley, this new collection takes up further work by Percy Bysshe Shelley that has received inadequate critical attention. The Neglected Shelley shows that even the poet’s apparently slighter works are important in their own right and are richly instructive as expressions of Shelley’s developing art of composition and diverse interests throughout his career.



Pre-Raphaelite Masculinities Constructions of Masculinity in Art and LiteratureEdited by Amelia Yeates, Liverpool Hope University, UK and Serena Trowbridge, Birmingham City University, UK

Reading and the Victorians Edited by Matthew Bradley, University of Liverpool, UK and Juliet John, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

‘These reader friendly essays convey the excitement of discovering how 150 years ago reading transformed people’s lives. We learn how our forebears illuminated a reading space, created through diaries a life that counts, copiously registered their opinions in marginalia, and taught women that reading can be a dynamic, collaborative activity. We also learn that privileging reading might suppress other needful skills such as observation and imagination. These path-breaking studies significantly enrich the history we’ve inherited both of books and of readers.’

Robert L. Patten, University of London, UK

Bringing together historians, literary scholars, theorists, librarians, and historians of the book, Reading and the Victorians examines the era when reading underwent a swifter and more radical transformation than at any other moment in history. The contributors stress the continuities and the conflicts between the Victorian period and our own, in essays that examine nineteenth-century reading in all its personal, historical, literary, and material contexts, and also ask questions about how we read the Victorians’ reading in the present day.



Serialization and the Novel in Mid-Victorian Magazines Catherine Delafield

‘… perhaps the most wide-ranging and original contribution to scholarship on the subject since The Victorian Serial by Linda Hughes and Michael Lund back in 1991.’

Graham Law, Waseda University, Japan

Examining the Victorian serial as a text in its own right, Catherine Delafield analyses five novels by Elizabeth Gaskell, Anthony Trollope, Dinah Craik and Wilkie Collins in the context of periodical publication. Her book addresses the material conditions of production, illustrates the collective and collaborative creation of the text, and offers fresh readings of novels that appeared in Household Words, Cornhill Magazine, Good Words, All the Year Round and Cassell’s Magazine.

THE NINETEENTH CENTURY SERIESSeries Editors: Vincent Newey and Joanne Shattock, both at the University of Leicester, UK

The series focuses primarily upon major authors and subjects within Romantic and Victorian literature. It also includes studies of other nineteenth-century British writers and issues, where these are matters of current debate: for example, biography and autobiography; journalism; periodical literature; travel writing; book production; gender; non-canonical writing.


History

Art in the Time of Colony Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll

EMPIRES AND THE MAKING OF THE MODERN WORLD, 1650–2000

‘This is a stunning and ambitious study of cross cultural encounters which reveals their nuanced and unexpected poetics and violence. Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll’s self proclaimed “museum in a book” employs a creative and highly original way of thinking about the time of the colony through anachronism and how the arc of colonial time might be best thought of as being like the boomerang. Her stark juxtapositions and subtle weaving together of Aboriginal and colonial nineteenth-century art create emotive and acute alignments that are fascinating and timely. Rigorously researched, Art in the Time of the Colony is a seminal study that will change the way in which scholars approach visual culture and the postcolony. A tour de force.’

Natasha Eaton, University College London, UK

It is often assumed that the verbal and visual languages of Indigenous people had little influence upon the classification of scientific, legal, and artistic objects in the metropolises and museums of nineteenth-century colonial powers. However colonized locals did more than merely collect material for interested colonizers. In developing the concept of anachronism for the analysis of colonial material this book writes the complex biographies for five key objects that exemplify, embody, and refract the tensions of nineteenth-century history.




The Ashgate Research Companion to Imperial Germany Edited by Matthew Jefferies, University of Manchester, UK

‘This scintillating collection presents the state of the art on the German Empire – what made it tick, how it fits within the larger sweep of history, why scholars disagree about its problems and prospects. The chapters expand the limits of the genre, offering remarkable breadth and unique depth. With its vivid prose and judicious analysis, this book will be indispensable to novices and experts alike.’

James Retallack, University of Toronto, Canada

This companion is a significant addition to the body of scholarship on Germany’s imperial era with the emphasis very much on the present and future. Questions of continuity remain a vital line of historical enquiry and while it may have been short-lived, the Kaiserreich remains central to modern German and European history. The collection will provide a lively take on this fascinating period of history, from Germany’s unification in 1871 until the end of World War I.

Barcelona: An Urban History of Science and Modernity, 1888–1929 Edited by Oliver Hochadel, Institució Milà i Fontanals in Barcelona, Spain and Agustí Nieto-Galan, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE, 1700–1945

The four decades between the two Universal Exhibitions of 1888 and 1929 were formative in the creation of modern Barcelona. Architecture and art blossomed in the work of Antoni Gaudí and many others. At the same time, social unrest tore the city apart. Topics such as art nouveau and anarchism have attracted the attention of numerous historians. Yet the crucial role of science, technology and medicine in the cultural makeup of the city has been largely ignored. The ten articles of this book recover the richness and complexity of the scientific culture of fin de siècle Barcelona. This volume shows that the city around 1900 was both a creator and facilitator of knowledge but also a space substantially transformed by the appropriation of this knowledge by its unruly citizens.




Becoming a Romanov. Grand Duchess Elena of Russia and her World (1807–1873) Marina Soroka and Charles A. Ruud, both at Western University, Canada

Becoming a Romanov offers a new understanding of Russian and international events of the era, the Romanovs’ role in them, the degree of autonomy enjoyed by high-born women in Russia and the ways in which new ideas gained ground in the nineteenth-century Russian empire. Based on abundant and largely unused archival sources, published documents and literature of the period in French, Russian, German, Italian and English, this is the first book about Grand Duchess Elena and it expertly interweaves the story of a woman’s life with that of Imperial Russian high politics.

The British Empire A History and a DebateJeremy Black, University of Exeter, UK

Focusing on the most prominent and wide-ranging empire in world history, the British Empire, Jeremy Black provides not only a history of that empire, but also a perspective from which to consider the issues of its strengths and weaknesses, and rights and wrongs. The book addresses global decline, decolonisation, and the complex nature of post-colonialism and different imperial activity in modern and contemporary history.



British Humanitarianism and the Congo Reform Movement, 1896–1913 Dean Pavlakis, Carroll College, USA

Examining key factors in the successes and failures of a pivotal movement that aided the colonized people of the Congo and broadened the idea of human rights, this book provides a valuable update to scholarship on the history of humanitarianism in Africa. The Congo Reform movement built on the institutional experience of overseas humanitarianism, the energy of evangelical political involvement, and innovations in racial, imperial, and nationalist discourse to create political energy. Often portrayed as the efforts of a few key people, especially E.D. Morel, this book demonstrates that the movement increasingly manifested itself as an institutionalized campaign that could pursue its goals even in the absence of its hardworking founder.




The British Pharmacopoeia, 1864 to 2014 Medicines, International Standards and the StateAnthony C. Cartwright

THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN CONTEXT

The British Pharmacopoeia has provided official standards for the quality of substances and articles used in medicine since its first publication. Cartwright explores how these standards have been achieved through a comprehensive review of the history and development of pharmacopoeias in the UK. The book, which places the British Pharmacopoeia in its global context as an instrument of the British Empire, will be of value to historians of medicine and pharmacy and practitioners of medicine, pharmacy and pharmaceutical analytical chemistry.

Camera Graeca: Photographs, Narratives, Materialities Edited by Philip Carabott and Eleni Papargyriou, both at King’s College London, UK and Yannis Hamilakis, University of Southampton, UK

PUBLICATIONS OF THE CENTRE FOR HELLENIC STUDIES, KING’S COLLEGE LONDON

Modern Greece and photography are almost peers: both are cultural products of the 1830s, and both actively converse with modernity. This is the first inter-disciplinary volume to examine Greece’s entanglement with photography. The book argues that photographs and the photographic process have been instrumental in the reproduction of national imagination, in the consolidation of the nation-building process, and in the dissemination of propaganda. It is argued that the photographic field constitutes a site of memory and counter-memory, where social actors stake their discursive, material, and practical claims.




Cities Beyond Borders Comparative and Transnational Approaches to Urban HistoryEdited by Nicolas Kenny, Simon Fraser University, Canada and Rebecca Madgin, University of Glasgow, UK.

Drawing on a body of research covering primarily Europe and the Americas, but stretching also to Asia and Africa, from the mid-eighteenth century to the present, Cities Beyond Borders explores the methodological and heuristic implications of studying cities in relation to one another.




Concepts of Value in European Material Culture, 1500–1900 Edited by Bert De Munck, University of Antwerp, Belgium and Dries Lyna, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands

THE HISTORY OF RETAILING AND CONSUMPTION

The dominance of economic repertories of value is a relatively new phenomenon, and one which directly correlates to the steady advent of capitalism in early modern Europe. This volume brings together scholars with expertise in a variety of related fields, including economic history, the history of consumption and material culture, art history, and the history of collecting, to explore changing concepts of value from the early modern period to the nineteenth century and present a new view on the advent of modern economic practices. Jointly, they fundamentally challenge traditional historical narratives about the rise of our contemporary market economy and consumer society.




Cosmo Innes and the Defence of Scotland’s Past c. 1825–1875 Richard A. Marsden, Cardiff University, UK

ShortliSted for the Saltire Society hiStory Book of the year award 2014 ShortliSted for the royal hiStorical Society whitfield Prize 2014 ‘This is a masterly scholarly monograph that fills an important gap in the literature on Cosmo Innes and Scottish antiquarianism and its long afterlife in the nineteenth century. Situating Innes in an older antiquarian tradition, the author is able to convincingly demonstrate the importance of Innes’ work with primary sources in making him such an accepted authority of Scottish national history. Marsden’s historiographical discussion of Innes and his contextualisation of him in the wider Scottish, British and European scenarios are extremely lucid and helpful.’

Stefan Berger, Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum, Germany

The antiquary Cosmo Innes (1798–1874) was a prolific editor of medieval and early modern documents relating to Scotland’s parliament, legal system, burghs, universities, aristocratic families and pre-Reformation church. This book, which analyses Innes’s work and provides sources, opens a window onto the ways in which Scottish identity and ideas about the ‘national past’ were perceived in Scotland during the nineteenth century, a period when union with England was all but unquestioned.

Entrepreneurial Ventures in Chemistry: The Muspratts of Liverpool, 1793–1934 Peter Reed

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE, 1700–1945

Associated principally with the development of the chemical industry in Liverpool – James Muspratt (1793–1884) was the first person to make alkali on a large scale using the Leblanc Process – the three generations of the family also contributed to wider Victorian and Edwardian culture through their interests in politics, education, art, literature and theatre. This is the first study to present the history of the Muspratts as a family group and to consider the entrepreneurial spirit they brought to chemical manufacture in Britain and to their many other ventures.




The Fate of Anatomical Collections Edited by Rina Knoeff, University of Groningen, The Netherlands and Robert Zwijnenberg, Leiden University, The Netherlands

THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN CONTEXT

This volume explores the changing status of anatomical collections from the early modern period to date. It is argued that anatomical and pathological collections are medically relevant for future research, and are important in the history of medicine, the cultural history of the body, and the history of the institutions to which they belong. In considering the fate of anatomical collections – and the importance of keeper’s decisions with respect to collections – this volume will make an important methodological contribution to the study of collections and to discussions on how to preserve universities’ academic heritage.




From Popular Liberalism to National Socialism Religion, Culture and Politics in South-Western Germany, 1860s–1920sOded Heilbronner, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

This book investigates the development of what the author terms ‘popular liberalism’, in order to present a more nuanced understanding of political and cultural patterns in Germany up to the early 1930s. In particular, the author offers an explanation for the success of National Socialism before 1933 in certain regions of South Germany, arguing that the radical liberal sub-culture was not subsumed by the Nazi Party, but instead changed its form of representation. By looking afresh at the relationship between local-regional identities and national politics, this book makes a major contribution to the study of the roots of Nazism.

Furniture-Makers and Consumers in England, 1754–1851 Design as InteractionAkiko Shimbo, Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan

THE HISTORY OF RETAILING AND CONSUMPTION

Covering the period from the publication of Thomas Chippendale’s The Gentleman and Cabinet-Makers’ Director (1754) to the Great Exhibition (1851), this book analyses the relationships between producer-retailers and consumers of furniture and interior design, and explores what effect dialogues surrounding these transactions had on the standardisation of furniture production during this period. This study examines the role of pattern books and their readers; the construction of taste and style through negotiation; and daily interactions through showrooms and other services, to reveal the complexities of English material culture in a period of industrialisation.




Gender and Conversion Narratives in the Nineteenth Century German Mission at Home and AbroadKirsten Rüther, University of Vienna, Austria, Angelika Schaser, Universität Hamburg, Germany and Jacqueline Van Gent, University of Western Australia

Addressing an important social and political issue which is still much debated today, this volume explores the connections between religious conversions and gendered identity against the backdrop of a world undergoing significant social transformations. Adopting a collaborative approach to their research, the authors explore the connections and differences in conversion experiences, tracing the local and regional rootedness of individual conversions as reflected in conversion narratives in three different locations: Germany and German missions in South Africa and colonial Australia, at a time of massive social changes in the 1860s.




George Augustus Selwyn (1809–1878) Theological Formation, Life and WorkRobert William Keith Wilson

‘Robert Wilson has delved into the theological thinking and world that shaped G.A. Selwyn, a leading nineteenth-century missionary and colonial bishop and architect of pan-Anglicanism. This provides a rich appreciation of how Selwyn’s theology informed his activism and achievements.’

Allan Davidson, St John’s College, Auckland, New Zealand

George Augustus Selwyn (1809–1878) focuses on Selwyn’s theological formation, which places him in the context of the world of traditional high churchmanship, rather than the Oxford Movement narrowly conceived. It argues that his distinctiveness lay in the way in which he was able to transplant his vision of Anglicanism to the colonial context. Making use of Selwyn’s personal correspondence and papers, as well as his unpublished sermons, the book analyses his theological formation, his missionary policy, his role within the formation of the colonial episcopate, his attitude to conciliar authority and his impact upon the diocesan revival in England.

‘This timely, daring and challenging book … a phenomenally ambitious, interesting and reflective interdisciplinary history of ideas … assembles some convincing evidence for the processes by which changing sets of ideas, or an accident of historical contingencies, have come to shape allegedly incontrovertible universal truths.

Ideas and Practices in the History of Medicine, 1650–1820 Adrian Wilson, University of Leeds, UK

VARIORUM COLLECTED STUDIES SERIES: CS1038

Most of these essays touch upon, and some of them are exclusively concerned with, small scale social processes, for example the routines of the all-female early-modern childbirth ritual, the different ways that male practitioners were summoned to such occasions, the functioning of voluntary hospitals and the protocols underlying patient records. Whenever there comes into being something new – whether an institution, a social practice or a concept – the question arises as to its relationship with what went before. This concept resonates throughout these essays, but is most to the fore in the chapters on early Hanoverian London and on Porter versus Foucault.

Centred upon a man who never participated in combat operations during his sixty-year naval career, this volume depicts the routine peacetime operations of the mid-Victorian Royal Navy. The documents that comprise this volume deal with topics of interest to scholars of international relations, Anglo-American affairs, the U.S. Civil War and the slave trade. Other aspects addressed include naval medicine, steam-era logistics and other elements of the Royal Navy’s modernization pertaining to its materiel, personnel and administration.

The Narrative of the Good Death The Evangelical Deathbed in Victorian EnglandMary Riso, Gordon College, USA

ASHGATE METHODIST STUDIES SERIES

‘Mary Riso’s carefully researched book makes a significant contribution to understanding the place of Protestant Nonconformity in English society. Her work is especially helpful for showing how much Nonconformist obituaries (a flourishing genre) partook of conventional middle-class values, yet also transcended them; how much the various denominations resembled each other, yet with crucial differences; and how much Romantic currents affected Nonconformists in some ways but not in others. It is a fine book.’

Mark Noll, University of Notre Dame, USA

A good death was as central to Methodism as conversion and holiness. Based on an analysis of 1,200 obituaries, this book contributes to an understanding not only of death but of the history of Methodist and evangelical Nonconformist piety, theology, social background and literary expression in mid-nineteenth-century England, and focuses on the tension in Nonconformist allegiance to both worldly and spiritual matters.

Police Courts in Nineteenth-Century Scotland, Volume 1 Magistrates, Media and the MassesDavid G. Barrie and Susan Broomhall, both at the University of Western Australia

‘These two volumes constitute a heavyweight companion study in every sense of the term – except, that is, for the clear, well-argued and accessible text. Carefully researched, based on an impressive range of archival sources, and rooted in detailed knowledge of existing scholarship, Police Courts makes a valuable and important contribution to a hitherto under-researched aspect of criminal justice history. Written by scholars who, intellectually, form a formidable duo, this exhaustive examination of Scottish police courts, their activities and their personnel puts down a bench mark that will be essential reading for historians of England and Scotland who will need carefully to reflect on the study’s arguments and findings and follow up with new research.’

Clive Emsley, Open University, UK

Taking the form of two companion volumes, Police Courts in Nineteenth-Century Scotland represents the first major investigation into summary justice in Scottish towns, c.1800 to 1892. Volume 1, with the subtitle Magistrates, Media and the Masses, provides an institutional, social and cultural history of the establishment, development and practice of police courts. It explores their rise, purpose and internal workings, and how justice was administered and experienced by those who attended them in a variety of roles.

British Entrepreneurship in Poland A Case Study of Bradford Mills at Marki near Warsaw, 1883–1939Sarah Dietz

Drawing upon an impressive range of international sources, this book explores the late-nineteenth century partnership between Bradford worsted manufacturers the Briggs brothers and the German merchant Ernst Posselt, and their investment in a factory and workers’ community at Marki, near Warsaw in Poland. Against a backdrop of political instability and social upheaval, which dramatically impacted on business after 1905 and particularly during the interwar period of Poland’s Second Republic, Sarah Dietz examines the fortunes of an extraordinary enterprise which has been little researched in Poland and is largely unknown to British scholars.




Money Pits: British Mining Companies in the Californian and Australian Gold Rushes of the 1850s John Woodland

Between 1849 and 1853, shares in nearly 120 public companies to exploit the booming goldfields of California and Australia were offered to the British public. The companies were collectively capitalised at over £15 million, but in the end only some £1.75 million was raised between 42 of them, with only one company surviving what the newspapers of the day described as a ‘gold bubble’. This is the first detailed investigation of the British gold bubble companies and their involvement in the almost simultaneous gold rushes on both sides of the Pacific.

MODERN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORYSeries Editor: Derek Aldcroft, University of Leicester, UK

Modern Economic and Social History encourages the publication of scholarly monographs on aspects of modern economic and social history. While emphasis is placed on works embodying original research, the series also provides studies of a more general and thematic nature which offer a reappraisal or critical analysis of major issues of debate.

Economic and social history has been a flourishing subject of scholarly study during recent decades. Not only has the volume of literature increased enormously but the range of interest in time, space and subject matter has broadened considerably so that today there are many sub-branches of the subject which have developed considerable status in their own right.


History

The Paris Zone A Cultural History, 1840–1944James Cannon, La Trobe University, Australia

‘For over a century, the Parisian zone was an extraordinary place, seen as the dreadful heart of the French underworld, and filled with dropouts, gypsies, vagrants, ragpickers, pimps and prostitutes. James Cannon’s book is a reliable and remarkable guide into this devastated landscape. … A brilliant and strongly documented study on one of the major myths of Parisian life.’

Dominique Kalifa, Panthéon-Sorbonne University, France

Since the mid-1970s, the term zone has often been associated with the post-war housing estates on the outskirts of large French cities. However, it once referred to a more circumscribed space: the zone non aedificandi (non-building zone) which encircled Paris (1840–1940). This unusual territory came to occupy a central place in Parisian culture. By analysing a wider range of sources from the duration of the zone’s existence, this study offers a nuanced account of how the area was perceived by successive generations of Parisian novelists, poets, songwriters, artists, photographers, film-makers, politicians and town-planners.




The Reception of Byzantium in European Culture since 1500 Edited by Przemyslaw Marciniak, University of Silesia, Poland and Dion C Smythe, Queen’s University Belfast, UK

This collection of essays uses the idea of ‘reception-theory’ and expands it to show how European societies after Byzantium have responded to both the reality, and the idea of Byzantine Civilisation. The authors discuss various forms of Byzantine influence in the post-Byzantine world from architecture to literature to music to the place of Byzantium in modern political debates (e.g., in Russia). The intentional focus of the volume is on those aspects of Byzantine reception less well-known to English-reading audiences, which accounts for the inclusion of Bulgarian, Czech, Polish and Russian perspectives. As a result this book shows that although so-called ‘Byzantinism’ is a pan-European phenomenon, it is made manifest in local/national versions.




Religion and Society in the Diocese of St Davids 1485–2011 Edited by William Gibson, Oxford Brookes University, UK and John Morgan-Guy, University of Wales Trinity St David, UK

‘This is history at its best – it’s local yet set against the broad backdrop of national and international developments. It offers an impressive accumulation of detail without losing sight of the bigger picture. And its imposing range of contributors, under the watchful eye of its editors, avoid the usual jumpiness of such volumes and manage to produce a silky smooth text that is at once instructive and compelling.’

Lord Griffiths of Burry Port, Superintendent Minister of Wesley’s Chapel, UK

During the medieval and early modern periods the Welsh diocese of St Davids was one of the largest in the country and the most remote. As this collection makes clear, this combination of factors resulted in a religious life which was less regulated by the institutional forces of Church and State. Addressing key ideas in the development of popular religious culture and the stubborn continuity of long-lasting religious practices into the modern era, the volume shows how the diocese was also a locus for continuing major religious controversies, especially in the nineteenth century.



Representing Slavery Art, Artefacts and Archives in the Collections of the National Maritime MuseumEdited by Douglas Hamilton and Robert J. Blyth with essays by James Walvin, David Richardson, John Oldfield, Hakim Adi, Marcus Wood, Geoff Quilley, Paul Lovejoy and Jane Webster

‘… While this book would look good on a coffee table, it is not simply for show, for by reading the essays and examining the catalogue, one will also question and work to understand, the legacies of slavery and abolition.’

International Journal of Maritime History

Representing Slavery draws on the extensive collections of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, to offer unique insights into the histories and legacies of slavery, the slave trade and abolition from the mid-16th until the early 20th centuries. The book illustrates and documents a wide range of objects relating to the slave trade, including maps, photographs, pamphlets and official publications, ethnographic documents, newspapers, paintings, prints and drawings. Ten specially commissioned essays by leading scholars provide a fascinating historical framework, demonstrating the scale and brutality of slavery, the form and extent of African resistance, and the widespread nature of efforts to achieve abolition and emancipation.

A Taste of Progress: Food at International and World Exhibitions in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Edited by Nelleke Teughels and Peter Scholliers, both at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium

World exhibitions have been widely acknowledged as important sources for understanding the development of the modern consumer and urbanized society, yet whilst the function and purpose of architecture at these major events has been well-studied, the place of food has received very little attention. Food stood as a powerful semiotic device for communicating and maintaining conceptions of identity, history, traditions and progress, of inclusion and exclusion, making it a valuable tool for researching the construction of national or corporate sentiments. Combining recent developments in food studies and the history of major international exhibitions, this volume provides a refreshing alternative view of these international and intercultural spectacles.




The Tory World Deep History and the Tory Theme in British Foreign Policy, 1679–2014Edited by Jeremy Black, University of Exeter, UK

Working forward from the later seventeenth century, contributors to this volume explore the ‘deep history’ of the changing and competing understandings within the Tory party of the role Britain has aspired to play on a world stage. With a supporting cast from Pitt to Disraeli, Churchill to Thatcher, the book provides a fascinating insight into the influence of history over politics, and seeks to understand how the Tory party has sought to navigate its way through the difficult pathways of foreign and imperial politics.

Cultural Histories of Noise, Sound and Listening in Europe, 1300–1918 Edited by Ian Biddle and Kirsten Gibson, both at Newcastle University, UK

These essays present historical case studies on the sounding worlds of the European past. They explore ways of thinking about sound historically, and seek to understand how people have understood and negotiated their relationships with the sounding world in Europe from the Middle Ages through to the early twentieth century. They consider, in particular: sound and music in the later Middle Ages; the politics of sound in the early modern period; the history of the body and perception during the Ancien Régime; the sounds of the city in the nineteenth century; and sound and colonial rule at the fin de siècle. Out of these case studies emerge significant themes: sound, power and identity; sound as a marker of power or violence; sound, physiology and sensory perception; and technologies of sound, consumption and meaning.

Gabriel Fauré: The Songs and their Poets Graham Johnson, with translations of the song texts by Richard Stokes

GUILDHALL RESEARCH STUDIES

‘No better guide … could be found than Graham Johnson, one of our leading accompanists and someone whose knowledge of the entire song repertoire would be hard to match. As a performer who has spent a lifetime interpreting this music … Johnson knows it inside out. But he also possesses a deep understanding of each song’s position within Fauré’s own life, and indeed within the wider French cultural environment as a whole … Richard Stokes’s translations of the texts aligned with the originals are an added bonus … an ideal guide to one of the most important figures in the song repertoire, valuable to performers and listeners alike.’

The German Symphony between Beethoven and Brahms The Fall and Rise of a GenreChristopher Fifield

‘… a must-buy for all those interested in 19th century music, specifically the German classical (not programme) symphony as it developed in the half-century between the appearance of Beethoven’s 9th in 1824 and Brahms’ 1st in 1876. … reads like a musicological detective story. It is an extremely important contribution to the understanding of the development of the Symphony in the nineteenth century’.

www.unsungcomposers.com

It was Carl Dahlhaus who coined the phrase ‘dead time’ to describe the state of the symphony between Schumann and Brahms. Christopher Fifield argues that many of the symphonies dismissed by Dahlhaus made worthy contributions to the genre. He looks at the non-programmatic works of the five decades between the mid-1820s and mid-1870s. Composers who lead to Brahms are frequently dismissed as epigones of Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Schumann but by investigating their symphonies, Fifield reveals their respective brands of originality and in doing so, shines a light into a half-century of neglected nineteenth-century German symphonic music.

Grétry’s Operas and the French Public From the Old Regime to the RestorationR.J. Arnold

ASHGATE INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES IN OPERA

The core of André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry’s appeal was his mastery of song. His melodies were exported out of the opera house into every corner of French life, serving as folkloristic tokens of celebration and solidarity. His death in 1813 was one of the sensations of the age, setting off months of commemorations and revivals of his work. To understand this singular event, this interdisciplinary study looks back to Grétry’s earliest encounters with the French public during the 1760s and 1770s, seeking the roots of his reputation in the reactions of his listeners. The result is not simply an exploration of the relationship between a musician and his audiences, but of developments in musical thought and discursive culture, and of the formation of public opinion over a period of intense social and political change.

The Politics of Verdi’s Cantica Roberta Montemorra Marvin, University of Iowa, USA

ROYAL MUSICAL ASSOCIATION MONOGRAPHS

This study unpacks the history of Verdi’s composition from its creation, performance, and publication in the 1860s through its appropriation as social and political commentary and its perception by American broadcast media as a ‘weapon of art’ in the mid-twentieth century. The project also offers the first fully documented study of the performances, radio broadcast, and filming of the work by conductor Arturo Toscanini during World War II. In presenting new evidence about ways in which Verdi’s music was appropriated by expatriate Italians and the US government for cross-cultural propaganda, it addresses the intertwining of Italian and American culture with regard to art, politics, and history.

Women and the Nineteenth-Century Lied Edited by Aisling Kenny, Dundalk Institute of Technology, Ireland and Susan Wollenberg, Lady Margaret Hall and Brasenose College, University of Oxford, UK

This book bridges a gap in scholarship by foregrounding the contribution of women to the nineteenth-century Lied. It consolidates recent research in the genre, and develops an alternative narrative that embraces an understanding of the contributions of women. Composers including Fanny Hensel, Clara Schumann, Pauline Viardot-Garcia and Josephine Lang are considered with a variety of analytical approaches. In addition to the focus on the history and theory of the Lied, chapters explore the cultural and sociological background, as well as engaging with gender studies, performance and pedagogical contexts. The range of subject matter reflects the interdisciplinary nature of current research and the energy it generates among scholars and performers.




Michael Costa: England’s First Conductor The Revolution in Musical Performance in England, 1830–1880John Goulden

Among the major changes that swept through the music industry during the mid-nineteenth century was how musical performances were managed and directed. From a loose control shared between the violin-leader, musical director and maestro al cembalo to a system of tight and unified control under a professional conductor-manager. This process brought with it not only baton conducting in its modern form, but also higher standards, a new orchestral lay-out and a more focused rehearsal regime. The key figure in this process was Michael Costa whose uniquely powerful position in the operatic, symphonic and choral worlds provide a fascinating insight into the politics and changing aesthetics of the Victorian musical landscape.

Art, Technology and Nature Renaissance to PostmodernityEdited by Camilla Skovbjerg Paldam and Jacob Wamberg, both at Aarhus University, Denmark

SCIENCE AND THE ARTS SINCE 1750

‘This book is a superb collection shaped by the latest research on the histories of nature, art, science, and technology.’

Oliver Grau, Danube University, Austria

Are art and technology coming into a closer relationship with nature? Through a selection of innovative readings by international scholars, this book argues that since 1900 we have experienced a renewed negotiation of the convergent triangle of art, technology and nature, analysing its shifting constellations in post-medieval times. Through this negotiation, art becomes truly complementary to technology in understanding nature’s agencies and may gain an important role in adjusting technology’s present utilitarian hegemony.




Blacks and Blackness in European Art of the Long Nineteenth Century Edited by Adrienne L. Childs, Harvard University, USA and Susan H. Libby, Rollins College, USA

‘This excellent volume exemplifies the increasing sophistication of scholarship around issues of the representation of race, particularly in the nineteenth century. High art, popular art and popular performance involving Africans are analysed with due regard to the complexities of European racial attitudes in an age of commercialism and empire.’

David Bindman, Harvard University, USA

Compelling and troubling, colourful and dark, black figures served as the quintessential image of difference in nineteenth-century European art. This collection marks a phase in the scholarship on images of blacks that moves beyond undifferentiated binaries like ‘negative’ and ‘positive’ that fail to reveal complexities, contradictions, and ambiguities.




British Models of Art Collecting and the American Response Reflections Across the PondEdited by Inge Reist, The Frick Collection and Frick Art Reference Library, USA

THE HISTORIES OF MATERIAL CULTURE AND COLLECTING, 1700–1950

This collection of fourteen essays by distinguished art and cultural historians examine points of similarity and difference in British and American art collecting. Half the essays examine the trends that dominated the British art collecting scene of the nineteenth century. Others focus on American collectors, using biographical sketches and case studies to demonstrate how collectors in the United States embellished the British model to develop their own, often philanthropic approach to art collecting.




Architecture and the Late Ottoman Historical Imaginary Reconfiguring the Architectural Past in a Modernizing EmpireAhmet A. Ersoy, Bogaziçi University, Turkey

‘Critical historiography at its best … This refreshing account of the art, architecture and culture of Tanzimat takes issue with traditional frameworks of analysis and thrives on attention to nuance, contingency, ambivalence, syncretism and cultural reciprocity in explaining late Ottoman Empire’s engagement with Europe … A timely contribution to Ottoman/Turkish studies as well as to broader theoretical debates on orientalism, historicism, revivalism, authenticity, cultural difference and identity formation in the modern world… Above all, a much-needed cosmopolitan perspective to counteract the nationist neo-orientalism of political Islam in Turkey today.’

Sibel Bozdogan, Harvard University, USA

While European eclecticism is examined as a critical moment in western art history, little research has been conducted in the historicist pursuits of late Ottoman architects as they negotiated the nineteenth century’s vast inventory of styles and embarked on a revivalist/Orientalist program they identified as the ‘Ottoman Renaissance.’ Ersoy’s book examines the complex historicist discourse underlying this ‘renaissance’ through a close reading of a text conceived as the movement’s canonizing manifesto: the Usul-i Mi‘mari-i ‘Osmani.

Offering cultural, historical and literary readings of the responses to Italian Old Master art by early nineteenth-century writers, McCue illuminates the important role these artworks played in shaping the themes that are central to our understanding of Romanticism. She argues that they informed the writing of Romantic period authors, enabling them to forge often surprising connections between Italian art, the imagination and the period’s political, social and commercial realities.



Circulations in the Global History of Art Edited by Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann, Princeton University, USA, Catherine Dossin, Purdue University, USA and Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel, École normale supérieure, France

‘Like people and ideas, art objects travel, and they have been doing so from time immemorial. Surprisingly, art history has largely neglected to systematically examine these artistic circulations and their various consequences. By analysing the traffic of material cultural around the globe, this volume boosts the study of a key dynamic feature of art worldwide, characteristically investigated by a modern-day art history that is increasingly rejuvenating itself by developing a global perspective in both time and space.’

Wilfried van Damme, Leiden University, The Netherlands

Essays in this volume emphasize questions of transcultural encounters and exchanges as circulations, and provide an overview of current research on issues of circulation in relation to global art history and the globalization of art past and present. They offer a variety of approaches to the treatment of different periods, regions and objects, surveying both questions of historiography and methodology and presenting individual case studies.

A Theory of the Tache in Nineteenth-Century Painting Øystein Sjåstad, University of Oslo, Norway

Without question, the tache (blot, patch, stain) is a central and recurring motif in nineteenth-century modernist painting. Manet’s and the Impressionists’ rejection of academic finish produced a surface where the strokes of paint were presented directly, as patches or blots, then indirectly as legible signs. Cézanne, Seurat, and Signac painted exclusively with patches or dots. Through a series of close readings, this book looks at the tache as one of the most important features in nineteenth-century modernism. The tache is a potential meeting point between text and image and a pure trace of the artist’s body. Even though each manifestation of tacheism generates its own specific cultural effects, this book represents the first time a scholar has looked at tacheism as a hidden continuum within modern art.

STUDIES IN ART HISTORIOGRAPHYSeries Editor: Richard Woodfield, University of Birmingham, UK

The aim of this series is to support and promote the study of the history and practice of art historical writing focussing on its institutional and conceptual foundations, from the past to the present day in all areas and all periods. Besides addressing the major innovators of the past it also encourages re-thinking ways in which the subject may be written in the future. It ignores the disciplinary boundaries imposed by the Anglophone expression ‘art history’ and allows and encourages the full range of enquiry that encompasses the visual arts in its broadest sense as well as topics falling within archaeology, anthropology, ethnography, and other specialist disciplines and approaches. It welcomes contributions from young and established scholars and is aimed at building an expanded audience for what has hitherto been a much specialised topic of investigation. It complements the work of the Journal of Art Historiography.

Cultures of International Exhibitions 1840–1940 Great Exhibitions in the MarginsEdited by Marta Filipová, University of Birmingham, UK

‘For much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, international exhibitions served as a major testing ground for new ideas in manufacturing, art, and design. This fine work, with essays by noted scholars from an impressive array of countries and backgrounds, explores a largely overlooked aspect of this phenomenon: those exhibitions held not in the great European or American urban centers, but on the periphery, in cities and countries outside what is conventionally regarded as the mainstream. Insightful, wide-ranging, and innovative in its approaches, it is a seminal study of the concepts of marginality and locality and their import.’

Christopher Long, University of Texas, Austin, USA

Beyond the world fairs in London, Paris or Chicago, numerous smaller, ambitious exhibitions took place in provincial cities and towns worldwide. This volume takes a novel look at the exhibitionary cultures of the period 1840–1940. By examining the motivations, scope and impact of lesser-known exhibitions in, for example, Australia, Japan, Brazil, as well as a number of European countries, the volume opens up new angles in the way the global phenomenon of a great exhibition can be examined through the prism of the regional.




Delicious Decadence – The Rediscovery of French Eighteenth-Century Painting in the Nineteenth Century Edited by Guillaume Faroult and Monica Preti, both at the Musée du Louvre, France and Christoph Vogtherr, Wallace Collection, UK

The history of collecting is a topic of central importance to many academic disciplines, and shows no sign of abating in popularity. As such scholars will welcome this collection of essays by internationally recognized experts that gathers together for the first time varied and stimulating perspectives on the nineteenth-century collector and art market for French eighteenth-century art, and ultimately the formation of collections that form part of such august institutions as the Louvre and the National Gallery.




Elizabeth Robins Pennell, Nineteenth-Century Pioneer of Modern Art Criticism Kimberly Morse Jones, Sweet Briar College, USA

Mining various archives and newspaper repositories, Morse Jones provides the first full-length study of this remarkable woman. Pennell, a ‘New Art Critic’, helped develop formalist methodology in Britain, which she applied to her mostly anonymous or pseudonymous reviews. Pennell used her platform to promote the work of ‘new’ artists, including Manet and Degas, as well as championing the work of Whistler for whom she wrote a biography. Her contributions to the art world highlight the pivotal role of criticism in the production and consumption of art in the late-nineteenth century.




Exhibiting Outside the Academy, Salon and Biennial, 1775–1999 Alternative Venues for DisplayEdited by Andrew Graciano, University of South Carolina, USA

‘Exhibiting Outside the Academy, Salon and Biennial, 1775–1999 is unique in its contributions, ambitious in scope and approach, and succeeds in bringing together an impressive range of essays on a timely subject by specialists in the field. This volume fills an important lacuna and provides a welcome and much needed addition to the history of exhibitions and collections.’

Dorothy Johnson, University of Iowa, USA

In recent years, there has been increasing scholarly interest in the history of museums, academies and major exhibitions. There has been, however, little sustained interest in the histories of alternative exhibitions. The present volume contextualizes eleven case studies to advance overarching themes among alternative exhibitions from the late-eighteenth century to the late-twentieth century. These include the issue of control in the relationship between artist and curator, and the relationship of alternative exhibitions to the dominant modes, display structures and cultural ideology.




Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris, 1870–1914 Strangers in ParadiseEdited by Karen L. Carter, Kendall College of Art and Design, Ferris State University, USA and Susan Waller, University of Missouri, USA

‘This collection of essays by an international group of authors provides fascinating insights into the lives, careers, and creations of foreign artists who visited Paris or made it their permanent home at the turn of the nineteenth century. Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris, 1870–1914 illuminates the expatriate communities these artists formed, the international networks of which they became a part, their interaction (or not) with French Modernism, and the impact they exerted on the art of others-all against the backdrop of the difficulty to adjust and survive in a foreign country. For those interested in international artistic exchanges, this book is a must-read.’

Petra ten-Doesschate Chu, Seton Hall University, USA

Sixteen essays by a group of emerging and established international scholars examine Paris as a thriving transnational arts community during a period of burgeoning global immigration. They address the experiences of important modern artists as well as foreign exiles, immigrants, students and expatriates within the larger trends of international mobility. In doing so, they explore the structures that permitted foreign artists to forge connections within and across national communities and contribute to the development of a hybrid and multivalent modern art.

George Hadfield: Architect of the Federal City Julia King

During his lifetime, the work of architect George Hadfield (1763–1826) was highly regarded, both in England and the United States. Since his death, however, Hadfield’s contributions to architecture have slowly faded from view, and few of his buildings survive. In order to reassess Hadfield’s career and work, this book draws upon a wide selection of written and visual sources to reconstruct his life and legacy.




Iron, Ornament and Architecture in Victorian Britain Myth and Modernity, Excess and EnchantmentPaul Dobraszczyk, University of Manchester, UK

‘This book was well produced by the publisher, with a wealth of good illustrations. It should mark the beginning of a reassessment of cast iron as the plastic medium of Victorian modernity. Recommended.’

Choice

In the half century after the building of the Crystal Palace (1851), some architects, engineers, manufacturers and theorists believed that the fusion of iron and ornament would reconcile art and technology and create a new, modern architectural language. This book studies the development of mechanised architectural ornament in iron in nineteenth-century architecture, its reception and theorisation, and the contexts in which it flourished. As such, it offers new ways of understanding the notion of modernity in Victorian architecture.




Locating American Art Finding Art’s Meaning in Museums, Colonial Period to the PresentEdited by Cynthia Fowler, Emmanuel College, USA

‘Locating American Art is truly ground-breaking in every sense of the word. With its focus on lesser-known collections, this compendium of essays by a diverse group of scholars unearths manifold treasures in unexpected places far from the metropolis and its powerful institutions. Excitingly eclectic in its approach, the book embraces artists both canonical and obscure, celebrated and utterly unsung, and arrays them on a level playing field. It vividly suggests just how much there is still to discover by venturing beyond the center and delving wholeheartedly into the rich ground of the periphery. Altogether, Locating American Art is an invigorating departure from business as usual.’

Sarah Burns, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA

How does museum location shape interpretation of an art object? Providing a close examination of works of American art in relation to gallery and museum location, this anthology presents case studies of paintings, sculpture, photographs, and other media that explore the relationship between location and the prescribed meaning of art. It provides in-depth analysis of lesser-known works of art, and considers objects in locations outside of art museums in major cultural centers. This alternate perspective yields an expanded and more complex understanding of American art.

Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture On the Threshold of German ModernismMarsha Morton, Pratt Institute, USA

‘Morton’s text, the first, major English-language study on Klinger, is a triumph. This invaluable resource on Wilhelmine visual culture explores the intersections between Klinger and German Romantic literary theory, Darwinism, the unconscious, and criminality. Her wide-ranging, historically-grounded interdisciplinary approach is a vital addition to the field and will ignite further research on this complex and endlessly fascinating artist.’

Jay A. Clarke, The Clark, USA

In this book, the first full-length study of its kind in English, Marsha Morton argues that no artist represented the shift from tradition to innovation in the Wilhelmine Empire (1870s–1880s) more compellingly than Max Klinger. Morton makes an interdisciplinary examination of Klinger’s early prints and drawings within the context of Wilhelmine transformations, coming to the conclusion that the artist’s work revealed the psychological and biological underpinnings of modern rational man whose drives and passions undermined bourgeois constructions of society.

Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern GermanyMarion F. Deshmukh, George Mason University, USA

‘At long last, a monograph in English on Max Liebermann, one of Germany’s most important cultural figures of the modern era. Meticulously researched, this study is especially welcome for the way in which it weaves together and illuminates Liebermann’s life, art and times in ways that enormously enrich our understanding of how culture intersected with politics in a period of fraught and conflicting ideologies.’

Maria Makela, California College of the Arts, USA

This is the first English-language examination of the German impressionist painter Max Liebermann, whose long life and career spanned nine decades. Through a close reading of key paintings and a discussion of his many cultural networks across Germany and throughout Europe, this study by Marion F. Deshmukh illuminates Liebermann’s importance as a pioneer of German modernism.

‘Deftly weaving biography, history, and iconography with accounts of transatlantic exchange, colonial painting, military battles, and Enlightenment era allegory, Webster demonstrates how commemoration has been a core American concern since the earliest days of the republic.’

Erika Doss, University of Notre Dame, USA

The commemorative tradition in early American art is considered for the first time in Sally Webster’s study of public monuments and the construction of an American patronymic tradition. Until now, no attempt has been made to create a coherent early history of the carved symbolic language of American liberty and independence. Webster’s study provides a new focus on New York City as the eighteenth-century city in which the European tradition of public commemoration was reconstituted as monuments to liberty’s heroes.

‘Race, Representation & Photography in 19th Century Memphis is an exemplary tour de force consisting of breathtaking scholarship and compelling and exceptional research as well as brilliant archival excavation and investigation.’

Celeste-Marie Bernier, Nottingham University, UK

Race, Representation & Photography in 19th Century Memphis: from Slavery to Jim Crow presents a rich interpretation of African American visual culture. Using Victorian era photographs, engravings, and pictorial illustrations from local and national archives, this unique study examines intersections of race and image within the context of early African American communities. It emphasizes black agency, looking at how African Americans in Memphis manipulated the power of photography in the creation of free identities. Blacks are at the center of a study that brings to light how wide-ranging practices of photography were linked to racialized experiences in the American south following the Civil War. Jenkins’ book connects the social history of photography with the fields of visual culture, art history, southern studies, gender, and critical race studies.

Frederic Leighton Death, Mortality, ResurrectionKeren Hammerschlag, Georgetown University, USA

‘This book offers a compelling and highly original interpretation of Frederic Leighton’s art by arguing for a gothic impulse in the work of this quintessential exponent of Victorian classicism. In her nuanced account, revealing the body as a site of deep ambivalence in Leighton’s work, Hammerschlag connects his preoccupation with themes of death, resurrection and revivification to contemporaneous social anxieties about modernity. Deftly interweaving social and cultural history, this book demonstrates why Leighton mattered in his own time and how he continues to do so in ours. Smart, timely and engagingly written, this book is essential reading for those interested in British art, cultural histories of the nineteenth-century and contemporary aesthetic debates.’

Offering a timely reexamination of the late Victorian period’s most institutionally powerful artist, Keren Rosa Hammerschlag undertakes close readings of Frederic Lord Leighton’s paintings, sculptures, frescos, and drawings, and situates them in the context of contemporaneous debates about death and resurrection in theology, archaeology, and medicine. The author reconfigures what it meant to be not just a late-Victorian neoclassicist and royal academicism, but President of the Victorian Royal Academy.




Painting Labour in Scotland and Europe, 1850–1900 John Morrison, University of Aberdeen, UK

‘The juxtaposition of J.F. Millet with W.D. McKay, and Edwin Landseer with George Reid, makes for a volume that will appeal to both an academic audience and to one interested in European art history more generally.’

Scottish Art News

This book sets out to discuss Scottish rural painting in relation to its Scottish historical context and its English and European counterparts. Alongside canonical Scottish images by major figures such as James Guthrie, the book explores many under researched paintings by nineteenth-century Scottish artists, and considers them in relation to major English and Continental Realist and Romantic painters.




Printing and Painting the News in Victorian London The Graphic and Social Realism, 1869–1891Andrea Korda, University of Alberta, Canada

This first in-depth study of 1860s publication The Graphic and Social Realism uses the approach of media archaeology to unearth the modernity of paintings labeled as Social Realist. Korda shows that the paintings engaged with the changing notions of objectivity and immediacy that nineteenth-century new media cultivated. In doing so, this book proposes an alternative trajectory for the development of modernism that allows for a richer understanding of nineteenth-century visual culture.

SERIES www.ashgate.com/britisharthistories

BRITISH ART: HISTORIES AND INTERPRETATIONS SINCE 1700Series Editor: David Peters Corbett and Sarah Monks, both at the University of East Anglia, UK

This series exists to publish new and rigorous scholarship of the highest quality on British art after 1700. Proposals will offer new bodies of research or new interpretations, ideally both, and should demonstrate a clear awareness of the proposed volume’s contribution to current and wider art-historical debates.

We define British art broadly to mean art made in the British Isles or by British artists, and particularly welcome proposals which address the topic from international or comparative cultural perspectives. We also welcome proposals for intellectually ambitious studies concerning more localised areas, issues and themes within British art during this period.

Above all, we encourage proposals for books on British art which transcend the descriptive in order to offer a broader methodological and/or historiographical contribution to the discipline of art history.


Visual Studies

Rival Sisters, Art and Music at the Birth of Modernism, 1815–1915 Edited by James H. Rubin and Olivia Mattis, both at State University of New York at Stony Brook

‘At once historically grounded and theoretically sophisticated, this book offers new approaches to modernism’s paradigmatic “rival sisters”.’

Juliet Bellow, American University, USA

Introducing the concept of music and painting as ‘rival sisters’ during the nineteenth century, this interdisciplinary collection explores the productive exchange – from rivalry to inspiration to collaboration – between the two media in the age of Romanticism and Modernism. The volume traces the relationship between art and music, from the opposing claims for superiority of the early nineteenth century, to the emergence of the concept of synesthesia around 1900.




Ruskin’s Venice: The Stones Revisited New Edition Second edition

Sarah Quill

‘Sarah Quill’s Ruskin’s Venice: The Stones Revisited sets her glorious photographs of Venetian buildings alongside extracts and engravings from The Stones of Venice. The pictures evince a quality of attention to light, colour, ornament and the characters of different kinds of stone, that perfectly accords with Ruskin’s spirit.’

Times Literary Supplement

This new edition incorporates up-to-date views of buildings which have been cleaned since originally photographed. Several of Ruskin’s watercolours are included, with extracts and reproductions from his Venetian notebooks, now publicly available, and some of his original daguerreotype photographs of Venice. Sarah Quill’s expert editorial annotations and commentary, incorporating extracts from Ruskin’s letters from Venice, enhance our understanding of Ruskin’s text and provide an essential linking thread throughout. The book has been completely re-designed to be even more user-friendly as both a reference book and a guide for travellers to Venice.

Sculptors and Design Reform in France, 1848 to 1895 Sculpture and the Decorative ArtsClaire Jones, University of York, UK

‘This book is an important contribution towards the growing interest in art history to explore design and decorative art from a more critical and scholarly perspective. It is a significant title for the history of art and design.’

ARLIS

This book argues that we need to include the decorative in the study of sculpture, in order to present a more accurate account of the practice of sculpture in this period. Drawing on new archival sources, sculptors and objects, this is the first sustained study of how and why French sculptors collaborated with state and private luxury goods manufacturers. By contesting the false separation of art from industry, Jones’s study restores the importance of the sculptor-manufacturer relationship, and of the decorative, to the history of sculpture.




Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing LegacyOliver Bradbury

‘This brilliant and thoroughly researched book successfully challenges the widely held belief of architectural historians that Soane did not have a major or significant influence on his contemporaries or successors. Our view of Soane will thus be transformed by Bradbury’s detailed and fresh account of 19th- and 20th-century architecture.’

David Watkin, University of Cambridge, UK

Through examinations of internationally-renowned architects, Bradbury demonstrates that Sir John Soane’s influence has been truly international in the pre-modern era, reaching throughout the British Isles and beyond to North America and even colonial Australia. Through his inclusion of select, detailed case studies, Bradbury contends that Soane’s is a continuing, not negated, legacy in architecture.

Slavery, Geography and Empire in Nineteenth-Century Marine Landscapes of Montreal and Jamaica Charmaine A. Nelson, McGill University, Canada

‘Charmaine A. Nelson’s compelling and innovative reading of British Caribbean marine landscapes in Montreal and Jamaica (1760–1820) expands slavery studies and the visual culture of slavery to consider for the first time a second Middle Passage between the Caribbean and Canada. She thus expands the traditional slave trade triangle to now include Great Britain, the West Indies, and Canada. Her erudite and rich analysis of visual culture combined with postcolonial feminist theory is a major contribution to readers in a myriad of fields.’

Vivien Green Fryd, Vanderbilt University, USA

Through an examination of marine landscape art including prints, illustrated travel books and maps, this book reconnects the two significant British island colonies of Montreal and Jamaica, sites with profound economic and military value. Delivering one of the first slavery studies books to juxtapose temperate and tropical slavery and the first such comparative work in art history, Nelson explores how vision and cartographic knowledge translated into visual authority, which allowed colonizers to ‘civilize’ the so-called New World terrains, while belying the oppression of slavery and indigenous displacement.




The Symbolist Roots of Modern Art Edited by Michelle Facos, Indiana University, USA and Thor J. Mednick, University of Toledo, USA

The essays collected here, which consider artists from France to Russia and Finland to Greece, argue persuasively that Symbolist approaches to content, form, and subject helped to shape twentieth-century Modernism. Well-known figures such as Kandinsky, Khnopff, Matisse, and Munch are considered alongside lesser-known artists such as Fini, Gyzis, Koen, and Vrubel in order to demonstrate that Symbolist art did not constitute an isolated moment of wild experimentation, but rather an inspirational point of departure for twentieth-century developments.




Textiles, Fashion, and Design Reform in Austria-Hungary Before the First World War Principles of DressRebecca Houze, Northern Illinois University, USA

THE HISTORIES OF MATERIAL CULTURE AND COLLECTING, 1700–1950

‘This is a beautifully written, wide-ranging study of the central role that textiles, fashion and costume played in the cultural history of the Habsburg Empire of the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.’

Julie M. Johnson, University of Texas, San Antonio, USA

Filling a critical gap in Vienna 1900 studies, this book offers a new reading of fin-de-siècle culture in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy by looking at the preoccupation with embroidery, fabrics, clothing, and fashion. The author resurrects lesser known critics, practitioners, and curators, while also discussing the textile interests of better known figures. Spanning the 50-year life of the Dual Monarchy, this study uncovers new territory in art history, insists on the crucial place of women within modernism, and broadens the cultural history of Habsburg Central Europe.




The Urban Department Store in America, 1850–1930 Louisa Iarocci, University of Washington, USA

In the late nineteenth century, the urban department store arose as a built artifact and as a social institution in the United States. While the physical building type is the foundation of this comprehensive architectural study, Iarocci reaches beyond the analysis of the brick and mortar to reconsider how the ‘spaces of selling’ were culturally-produced spaces, as well as the product of interrelated economic, social, technological and aesthetic forces.




The Uses of Excess in Visual and Material Culture, 1600–2010 Edited by Julia Skelly, Concordia University, Canada

‘This is a splendid collection of essays dealing with the topic of excess in material and visual culture. Each contribution is thought-provoking and, what is more, enjoyable to read. The volume is cohesive yet far-reaching, effectively demonstrating how the same subject of excess informs many different discourses, places and times. Thus compelling connections are made among such seemingly disparate topics as diamonds in 17th- and 18th-century British portraits of British nabobs, elaborate dollhouses collected in Holland, decorative objects in Pre-Raphaelite paintings, convergences of exile, queerness and nationalism in avant-garde Europe, and the provocative ‘excessive’ works of contemporary figures including artist Damien Hirst and playwright Sky Gilbert, to name a few.’

Heidi Brevik-Zender, University of California, Riverside, USA

Although the idea of excess has often been used to degrade, many of the essays in this collection demonstrate how it has also been used as a strategy for self-fashioning and empowerment, particularly by women and queer subjects. This volume examines a range of material – including ceramics, paintings, caricatures, interior design and theatrical performances – in various global contexts. Each case study sheds new light on how excess has been perceived and constructed, revealing how beliefs about excess have changed over time.

Women, Femininity and Public Space in European Visual Culture, 1789–1914 Edited by Temma Balducci, Arkansas State University, USA and Heather Belnap Jensen, Brigham Young University, USA

‘This collection of essays presents important new research that challenges the traditional binary of public and private and reframes conventional interpretations of gendered space. The authors promote a more complex understanding of empowered female subjectivity and agency in Western Europe and North America in the long nineteenth century. The detailed and theoretically rigorous studies demonstrate the important roles of women in both shaping and enacting modernity as public maternal figures, artists, collectors, art historians, pedestrians, travelers and consumers of art and fashion.’

Alison McQueen, McMaster University, Canada

Focusing on images of or produced by nineteenth-century European women, this volume explores genteel femininity as resistant to easy codification vis-à-vis the public. Attending to various iterations of the public as space, sphere and discourse, sixteen essays challenge the false binary construct that has held the public as the sole preserve of prosperous men. By considering works in a range of media by an array of canonical and understudied women artists, they demonstrate that definitions of both femininity and the public were mutually defining and constantly shifting.




Zen Paintings in Edo Japan (1600–1868) Playfulness and Freedom in the Artwork of Hakuin Ekaku and Sengai GibonGalit Aviman, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, The Hebrew University and Tel-Aviv University, Israel

This book explores the playfulness reflected in the artwork of two prominent Japanese Zen monk-painters: Hakuin Ekaku (1685–1768) and Sengai Gibon (1750–1837). Aviman elaborates on the nature of this particular artistic expression and identifies its sources, focusing on the lives of the monk-painters and their artwork. The author combines a holistic analysis of the paintings, i.e. as interrelated combination of text and image, with a contextualization of the works within their specific environments.

SCIENCE AND THE ARTS SINCE 1750Series Editor: Barbara Larson, University of West Florida, USA

This series of monographs and edited volumes explores the arts – painting and sculpture, drama, dance, architecture, design, photography, popular culture materials – as they intersect with emergent scientific theories, agendas, and technologies, from any geographical area from 1750 to now. It welcomes studies on the aesthetic conditioning of scientists as well as those that explore the influence of technologies, medicine, and science on visual culture either in a specific cultural or social context or through webs of influence that cross national, political, or imperial boundaries. Projects additionally might address philosophies of mind, brain, and body that changed the way visuality and aesthetic theory were understood or how new theories can be used to reinterpret the past.
