Critical Perspectives in Art History Series

English Art 1860-1914

Published 21 December 2000

How "modern" is the art made in England between 1860 and 1914? England in the period was a highly modernized society, but the art it produced is not "modernist" in the sense that the word has been used to describe advanced French art of the 19th and 20th centuries. This book breaks the association of "modern" art in England with French models and to describe anew the relationship between English art, England's artists and their modern culture.
