The book manages the admirable feat of alerting us to the major themes and preoccupations of recent scholarship on British art whilst also breaking entirely new ground.

This book will provide scholars and students of British art with an extremely stimulating point of reference and focus of debate for many years to come.”<br /> <i>Mark Hallett, University of York</i></p> <p>“British art has been the focus of innovatory critical investigations and re-readings over recent decades and this book includes many of the foremost scholars currently engaged in the field.
