British engagement with the region of the Near East in the nineteenth century was multi-faceted, and part of its complexity was exemplified in the powerful relationship between developing and diverse Protestant theologies, visual culture and imperial identity. Britain?s Holy Land was visualised through pictorial representation which helped Christians to imagine the land in which familiar Bible stories took place. This book explores ways in which the geopolitical Holy Land was understood as embodying biblical land, biblical history and biblical typology. Through case studies of three British artists, David Roberts, David Wilkie and William Holman Hunt, this book provides a nuanced interpretation of some of the motivations, religious perspectives, attitudes and behaviours of British Protestants in their relationship with the Near East at the time. 410 0$aBritain and the World 607 $aGreat Britain$xReligion$y19th century 607 $aPalestine$xIn popular culture 676 $a274.1081 676 $a900 700 $aBurritt$b Amanda M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0897703 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392718703321 996 $aVisualising Britain?s Holy Land in the Nineteenth Century$92005604 997 $aUNINA
