{"product_id":"art-and-the-british-empire-tim-barringer-9780719081934","title":"Art and the British Empire","description":"This pioneering study argues that the concept of 'empire' belongs at the centre, rather than in the margins, of British art history. Recent scholarship in history, anthropology, literature and post-colonial studies has superseded traditional definitions of empire as a monolithic political and economic project. Emerging across the humanities is the idea of empire as a complex and contested process, mediated materially and imaginatively by multifarious forms of culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe twenty essays in Art and the British Empire offer compelling methodological solutions to this ambiguity, while engaging in subtle visual analysis of a previously neglected body of work. Authors from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the USA and the UK examine a wide range of visual production, including book illustration, portraiture, monumental sculpture, genre and history painting, visual satire, marine and landscape painting, photography and film. Together these essays propose a major shift in the historiography of British art and a blueprint for further research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Barringer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719081939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719081934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 7.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Tim Barringer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825743548671,"sku":"9780719081934","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0eaeb8e-20b3-40d9-9a24-46777bb8a6f8.jpg?v=1746073500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-and-the-british-empire-tim-barringer-9780719081934","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
