During the Victorian period there developed a new anxiety about
male-female relations and roles in modern society, as described by
a member of the Athenaeum in 1858, 'the distinction of man and
woman, their separate as well as their joint rights, begins to
occupy the attention of our whole community, and with no small
effect'. These essays examine Victorian painting in the light of
this 'woman question' by analysing the change in representation of
the family, romance, social issues such as emigration and
colonialism, the use of the female nude and the traditions of
portraiture, history-painting and still life. The art and artists
are considered in a socio-political context, and the connections
between Victorian sexism, racism and classism are examined. These
essays bring to light much previously unknown work (especially by
women) and reappraise many well-known paintings.
