Examining popular fiction, life writing, poetry and political works, Rebecca Styler explores women’s contributions to theology in the nineteenth century. Female writers, Styler argues, acted as amateur theologians by use of a range of literary genres. Through these, they questioned the Christian tradition relative to contemporary concerns about political ethics, gender identity, and personal meaning. Among Styler’s subjects are novels by Emma Worboise; writers of collective biography, including Anna Jameson and Clara Balfour, who study Bible women in order to address contemporary c

Since the first reports of travelers returning from visits to the Ottoman and Mughal empires in early modern times, European culture has been obsessed by the figure of the odalisque. The term initially used to describe a woman living in a Turkish harem or Indian zenana, gradually broadened to include and connect various iconographies of the exotic woman in the West. Many of these constructions, while rooted in the harem odalisque and sharing some of her attributes, move beyond her to connect with other aspects of European culture. Pal-Lapinski, using "odalisque" interchangeably with "exotic w

Of the several unfortunate images surrounding the composer Hubert Parry (1848-1918), some of the most damaging are those connected with his approach to composition itself. In particular, it has been suggested that Parry possessed a great facility, and that consequently he was not critical about the pieces which he composed. After discussing some of Parry’s reception problems in general, Michael Allis explores in detail the various compositional stages of the composer’s work from initial sketches and drafts through to editing made in the light of rehearsal and performance, supplemen

This survey explores the history of nineteenth-century European art and visual culture. Focusing primarily on painting and sculpture, it places these two art forms within the larger context of visual culture–including photography, graphic design, architecture, and decorative arts. In turn, all are treated within a broad historical framework to show the connections between visual cultural production and the political, social, and economic order of the time. Topics covered include The Classical Paradigm, Art and Revolutionary Propaganda In France, The Arts under Napoleon and Francisco Goy
