Explores the interconnected creative partnerships of the Wattses
and De Morgans - Victorian artists, writers and suffragists This is
the first book dedicated to examining the marital relationships of
Mary and George Watts and Evelyn and William De Morgan as creative
partnerships. The study demonstrates how they worked, individually
and together, to support greater gender equality and female
liberation in the nineteenth century. The author traces their
relationship to early and more recent feminism, reclaiming them as
influential early feminists and reading their works from
twentieth-century theoretical perspectives. By focusing on
neglected female figures in creative partnerships, the book
challenges longstanding perceptions of them as the subordinate
wives of famous Victorian artists and of their marriages as
representatives of the traditional gender binary. This is also the
first academic critical study of Mary Watts's recently published
diaries, Evelyn De Morgan's unpublished writings and other
previously unexplored archival material by the Wattses and the De
Morgans. Key Features: Reveals the ways in which the couples
promoted progressive socio-political ideas Draws on extensive
archival research and analyses unpublished writings, including
diaries and poems Focuses on neglected female figures in creative
partnerships to challenge longstanding perceptions of them as the
submissive or subordinate wives of famous Victorian artists, and of
their marriages as representatives of the traditional gender binary
Shows how male and female writers and artists engaged with
mid-to-late Victorian feminism together and individually,
reclaiming them as influential early feminists
