This cultural study reveals the interdependence between British
Aestheticism and late-Victorian social-reform movements. Following
their mentor John Ruskin who believed in art's power to civilize
the poor, cultural philanthropists promulgated a Religion of Beauty
as they advocated practical schemes for tenement reform,
university-settlement education, Sunday museum opening, and High
Anglican revival. Although subject to novelist's ambivalent, even
satirical, representations, missionary aesthetes nevertheless
constituted an influential social network, imbuing fin-de-siecle
artistic communities with political purpose and political lobbies
with aesthetic sensibility.
