Over the course of the long nineteenth century, Civilisation was
the subject of some of the most prominent public mural paintings
and sculptures in Europe and the United States, especially those
that speculated on the direction of history. It also underpinned
Western depictions of non-Western societies and evaluations of
social progress and artistic excellence. The essays in this volume
explore the ways in which the idea of Civilisation acted as a lens
through which Europeans and Americans represented themselves and
others, how this concept reshaped understandings of historical and
artistic development, and also how it changed and was put to new
uses as the century progressed. This collection will prove
invaluable to students and academics in both history and art
history. -- .
