Sommario/riassunto

Re-evaluating the period in Victorian illustration known as 'The Sixties,'



this volume examines figures such as Frederick Sandys, Ford Madox Brown and George John Pinwell to consider the impact of illustration on the act of reading and the sensibilities of the reading public. The collection offers a detailed and provocative analysis of the production, consumption and place of illustration within the broader contexts of mid-Victorian culture.
