Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year"
"This is a must-read for art historians, museum curators and those who are studying to enter these fields, as a buyer or a viewer might ask about it after this read (because the subject is particularly communicative)." * Pennsylvania Literary Journal *
"

Bedell shows how subtly and certainly sentimentalism pervades the work of nineteenth-century American artists. She shows that sentimentalism, by pulling on heartstrings, by creating sympathetic ties, was a force that artists used to their own ends as they went about their work of making appealing art.
