This book argues that Ford Madox Brown's murals in the Great Hall
of Manchester Town Hall (1878-93) were the most important public
art works of their day. Brown's twelve designs on the history of
Manchester, remarkable exercises in the making of historical
vision, were semi-forgotten by academics until the 1980s, partly
because of Brown's unusually muscular conception of what history
painting should set out to achieve. This ground-breaking book
explains the thinking behind the programme and indicates how each
mural contributes to a radical vision of social and cultural life.
It shows the important link between Brown and Thomas Carlyle, the
most iconoclastic of Victorian intellectuals, and reveals how Brown
set about questioning the verities of British liberalism. -- .
