The Victorian Artist, first published in 2003, examines the
origins, development, and explosion of biographical literature on
artists in Britain between 1870 and 1910. Analyzing a variety of
narrative modes, including gossip, anecdotes, and serialization, as
well as the differences among genres - autobiographies, family
biographies, biographical histories, and dictionaries - Julie
Codell discerns and articulates the multiple, often conflicting
identities that were ascribed to artists collectively and as
individuals. Her study demonstrates how this body of literature,
combined with images of artists' bodies, their works and their
studios, reflected anxiety over economic exchanges in the art
world, aestheticism, and the desire to tame artists in order to fit
them into an emerging national identity as a way of socializing new
audiences of readers and spectators. Her book provides a
sociological and cultural overview of the art world in Britain in
the decades before World War I.
