Book Synopsis
At the height of the Napoleonic Wars, London's art world was taken by storm by a generation of painters, whose novel approach to the depiction of everyday life critics trumpeted as a sign of the nation's cultural pre-eminence. This study is intended for those interested in British art and society of the Romantic era.

Trade Review
". . . fascinating. . . . While the book's narrow focus seems appropriate for specialized/graduate libraries, the essays in each of the six chapters address broader themes of 19th-century visual culture and provide exemplary visual and contextual analysis of standard, and, more often, lesser-known works."— Choice * Choice *
