First published in 1984. Signs for the Times explores imaginative
and creative relationships between three major areas of
mid-Victorian arts: literature, painting and architecture. Through
the detailed critical analysis of particular novels, prose
writings, paintings and buildings, Chris Brooks establishes a
fusion of realistic and symbolic values that he sees as central to
the Victorian creative imagination. He argues that the creative
achievement of the mid-nineteenth century needs to be seen far more
as a whole than it has previously, and that fundamental imaginative
terms are common to art and architecture, to major theoretical
writers such as Carlyle, Ruskin and Rugin as well as to the central
literary figure of Dickens. All those interested in literature,
art, or architecture will welcome this interpretation of symbolic
realism within the mid-Victorian world.
