In \u003ci\u003eImagining the Gallery\u003c\/i\u003e, we learn that it was also the age of the portrait. Rovee reads the rise of portraiture in the Romantic period as an index of a massive reimagining of the British social body. Cultural institutions such as art galleries, he argues, are bastions of conservatism as well as dynamic spaces for envisioning a new political order. From the family gallery at Pemberley in Austen's \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e to the printed portraits of working men and women that were published in books; from the eighty-plus paintings of the Poet Laureate William Wordsworth to the gigantic living portrait that is Victor Frankenstein's Monster, \u003ci\u003eImagining the Gallery\u003c\/i\u003e reveals portraiture as an enormously influential cultural discourse that helped to remake the body politic in the image of the private individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Rovee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804751242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804751247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.34w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 303\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 301","brand":"Christopher Rovee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059761148159,"sku":"9780804751247","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9d6694c-9e7b-4e63-b674-5ddef89633c8.jpg?v=1685060175","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imagining-the-gallery-christopher-rovee-9780804751247","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
