| Résumé: | This book examines the development of specialized art commentary in a period when art education became a national concern in Britain. The explosion of Victorian visual culture - evident in the rapid expansion of galleries and museums, the technological innovations of which photography is only the most famous, the public debates over household design, and the high profile granted to such developments as the Aesthetic Movement - provided art critics unprecedented social power. By including then-influential but now lesser-known critics such as Anna Jameson, Elizabeth Eastlake, and Emilia Dilke, and by focusing on critical debates rather than celebrated figures, this book refines the conception of when and how art criticism became a professional discipline in Britain. |
