Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History, hailed as `one of the most engrossing and stimulating art history texts to come along for years' by The Times Higher Education Supplement, embraces many aspects of the so-called `new' art history - attention to issues of class and gender, reception and spectatorship, racism and Eurocentrism, popular and elite culture - while at the same time recovering the remarkable vitality, salience and subversiveness of the era's best art. This new fourth edition includes four revised chapters together with a substantially expanded chapter on `Photography, Modernity and Art'. With 245 illustrations now in colour, including over a dozen brand new images, this rich and diverse volume will interest students, specialists and anyone fascinated by this dynamic period.
