Over the course of the nineteenth century, women in Britain
participated in diverse and prolific forms of artistic labour. As
they created objects and commodities that blurred the boundaries
between domestic and fine art production, they crafted
subjectivities for themselves as creative workers. By bringing
together work by scholars of literature, painting, music, craft and
the plastic arts, this collection argues that the constructed and
contested nature of the female artistic professional was a notable
aspect of debates about aesthetic value and the impact of
industrial technologies. All the essays in this volume set up a
productive inter-art dialogue that complicates conventional binary
divisions such as amateur and professional, public and private,
artistry and industry in order to provide a more nuanced
understanding of the relationship between gender, artistic labour
and creativity in the period. Ultimately, how women faced the
pragmatics of their own creative labour as they pursued vocations,
trades and professions in the literary marketplace and related
art-industries reveals the different ideological positions
surrounding the transition of women from industrious amateurism to
professional artistry.
