{"product_id":"9781107075757","title":"Women Writing Art History in the Nineteenth Century : Looking Like a Woman (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-century Literature and Culture)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book sets out to correct received accounts of the emergence of art history as a masculine field. It investigates the importance of female writers from Anna Jameson, Elizabeth Eastlake and George Eliot to Alice Meynell, Vernon Lee and Michael Field in developing a discourse of art notable for its complexity and cultural power, its increasing professionalism and reach, and its integration with other discourses of modernity. Proposing a more flexible and inclusive model of what constitutes art historical writing, including fiction, poetry and travel literature, this book offers a radically revisionist account of the genealogy of a discipline and a profession. It shows how women experienced forms of professional exclusion that, whilst detrimental to their careers, could be aesthetically formative; how working from the margins of established institutional structures gave women the freedom to be audaciously experimental in their writing about art in ways that resonate with modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122815279331,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":133.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781107075757-1.jpg?v=1788369348","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781107075757","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
