As new, artificial dyes were created in the second half of the nineteenth century, a longing for faded, ancient hues emerged in artistic circles. This collection focuses on the complex reception of the colours of the past in the works of major Victorian writers and artists, exploring the multiple facets of their chromatic nostalgia.

Charlotte Ribeyrol is Associate Professor at the University of Paris-Sorbonne, a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Oxford (2016-2018) and a member of the Institut Universitaire de France since 2015. Her main field of research is the influence of Ancient Greece on Victorian painting and literature, particularly in the works of A.C. Swinburne, J.A. Symonds and Walter Pater. Thanks to her interdisciplinary collaboration with chemists from the POLYRE programme (supported by Sorbonne Universities), she is now exploring the importance of the materiality of colour in the works of major Victorian writers and artists, notably William Morris.
