This book sets out to correct received accounts of the emergence of
art history as a masculine field. It investigates the importance of
female writers from Anna Jameson, Elizabeth Eastlake and George
Eliot to Alice Meynell, Vernon Lee and Michael Field in developing
a discourse of art notable for its complexity and cultural power,
its increasing professionalism and reach, and its integration with
other discourses of modernity. Proposing a more flexible and
inclusive model of what constitutes art historical writing,
including fiction, poetry and travel literature, this book offers a
radically revisionist account of the genealogy of a discipline and
a profession. It shows how women experienced forms of professional
exclusion that, whilst detrimental to their careers, could be
aesthetically formative; how working from the margins of
established institutional structures gave women the freedom to be
audaciously experimental in their writing about art in ways that
resonate with modern readers.
