In a reevaluation of that period in Victorian illustration known as
'The Sixties,' a distinguished group of international scholars
consider the impact of illustration on the act of reading; its
capacity to reflect, construct, critique and challenge its
audience's values; its response to older graphic traditions; and
its assimilation of foreign influences. While focused on the years
1855 to 1875, the essays take up issues related to the earlier part
of the nineteenth century and look forward to subsequent
developments in illustration. The contributors examine significant
figures such as Ford Madox Brown, Frederick Sandys, John Everett
Millais, George John Pinwell, and Hablot Knight Browne in
connection with the illustrated magazine, the mid-Victorian gift
book, and changing visual responses to the novels of Dickens.
Engaging with a number of theories and critical debates, the
collection offers a detailed and provocative analysis of the nature
of illustration: its production, consumption, and place within the
broader contexts of mid-Victorian culture.
