{"product_id":"women-writing-art-history-in-hilary-fraser-9781107428744","title":"Women Writing Art History in the Nineteenth Century: Looking Like a Woman","description":"This book sets out to correct received accounts of the emergence of art history as a masculine field. It investigates the importance of female writers from Anna Jameson, Elizabeth Eastlake and George Eliot to Alice Meynell, Vernon Lee and Michael Field in developing a discourse of art notable for its complexity and cultural power, its increasing professionalism and reach, and its integration with other discourses of modernity. Proposing a more flexible and inclusive model of what constitutes art historical writing, including fiction, poetry and travel literature, this book offers a radically revisionist account of the genealogy of a discipline and a profession. It shows how women experienced forms of professional exclusion that, whilst detrimental to their careers, could be aesthetically formative; how working from the margins of established institutional structures gave women the freedom to be audaciously experimental in their writing about art in ways that resonate with modern readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hilary Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107428742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107428744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Hilary Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924055720191,"sku":"9781107428744","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3cb7e288-86f8-40f4-8a90-8bbae4ec4af6.jpg?v=1681068214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-writing-art-history-in-hilary-fraser-9781107428744","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
