{"product_id":"lady-butler-catherine-wynne-9781846826498","title":"Lady Butler: Painting, Travel and War","description":"A 'recovery' project drawing on unpublished letters and diaries, this is the first biography of Victorian Britain's famous war artist, Elizabeth Thompson Butler. She transformed war art by depicting conflict trauma, decades before its designation as a medical condition. Married to an officer in the British army, she traveled with her husband's military postings. Her art is prescient in its concern about the implications of foreign military intervention and champions the ordinary soldier and the dispossessed. \u003ci\u003eLady Butler\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of travel and history, of war and conflict, of Italy of the Risorgimento, of the London art world where she achieved celebrity and negotiated the difficulties of being a female artist in a male-dominated domain, and of imperial travel. Her biography reveals a figure whose perspective on war is modern, whose confidence in achieving success in the masculine field of battle art taps into contemporary debates, and whose work provokes a rethinking of the post-imperial world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Wynne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846826497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846826498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Four Courts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.60w x 1.10d","brand":"Catherine Wynne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078696726783,"sku":"9781846826498","price":74.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce6ba34f-c08e-4af5-b570-364642ffe42e.jpg?v=1685476987","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lady-butler-catherine-wynne-9781846826498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
