The expression 'the Zola of Sculpture' was coined in the circles of
the Royal Academy in the 1880s as a term of abuse. Rodin: 'The Zola
of Sculpture' reveals how the appraisal of Rodin in British culture
was shaped by controversies around the literary models of Zola and
Baudelaire, in a period when negative notions about French culture
were being progressively transformed into positive expressions of
modern sculpture. Embedded within this collaborative book is the
editor's proposition that Rodin came to play an important role in
the cultural politics of the Entente Cordiale at a critical
juncture of European history. Encompassing new scholarship in
several disciplines, drawn from both sides of the Channel, Rodin:
'The Zola of Sculpture' offers the first in-depth account of
Rodin's career in Britain in the period 1880-1914 and weaves this
historical trajectory into a complex investigation of the
interactions between French and British cultures. The authors
examine the cultural agencies in which conceptions of Rodin's
practice played a defining role, dealing in turn with artists'
professional associations, art criticism, private and public
collectors and the education of women sculptors.
