T. S. R. Boase surveys the full sweep of artistic production across seven decades — from the grandeur of Regency neoclassicism through the moral earnestness of Victorian painting — illuminating the social forces, institutional developments, and individual genius that shaped one of art history's most debated periods. The Royal Academy, the rise of the Pre-Raphaelites, the dominance of landscape painting, and the democratisation of public art are all brought into sharp focus through Boase's meticulous scholarship.\n\nPart of the landmark Oxford History of English Art series, this volume sets a high standard of academic rigour without sacrificing readability, presenting its arguments with clarity and confidence. Boase's prose is measured and authoritative, drawing on a vast command of primary sources to situate each movement and artist within broader currents of Victorian thought and society. For collectors, historians, and serious students of British art alike, this remains an indispensable reference — one that rewards close reading and leaves the reader with a far richer appreciation of just how radical and restless English art truly was.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130601873627,"sku":"2026100007770-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5b1751e0-3f59-4dfb-9db5-6971a0843437.png?v=1786587240","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007770-secondhand-english-art-1800-1870-the-oxford-history-of-english-art","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
