Edited by Angus Trumble and Andrea Wolk Rager, the volume gathers essays from leading scholars that illuminate the paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and portraiture produced by British and expatriate artists working between roughly 1900 and 1910. The text argues that the Edwardian era, so often overshadowed by the Victorian age that preceded it and the modernist upheaval that followed, deserves recognition as a distinct and vital chapter in the history of British art. With an authoritative yet accessible tone, the essays detail the complex interplay between aristocratic patronage, imperial confidence, and the emerging tensions of class and gender that shaped artistic production of the time. Edwardian Opulence stands as an indispensable reference for collectors, curators, and anyone captivated by the gilded final flourish of Britain's long nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810563371227,"sku":"2026200006626-SECONDHAND","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/84fea3ba-49d3-4462-9a11-12e4bb92ad2d.png?v=1779805188","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006626-secondhand-edwardian-opulence-british-art-at-the-dawn-of-the-twentieth-century","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
