J.M.W. Turner and the Subject of History is an in-depth
consideration of the artist's complex response to the challenge of
creating history paintings in the early nineteenth century.
Structured around the linked themes of making and unmaking, of
creation and destruction, this book examines how Turner's history
paintings reveal changing notions of individual and collective
identity at a time when the British Empire was simultaneously
developing and fragmenting. Turner similarly emerges as a
conflicted subject, one whose artistic modernism emerged out of a
desire to both continue and exceed his eighteenth-century aesthetic
background by responding to the altered political and historical
circumstances of the nineteenth century.
