A new perspective on a book that transformed Victorian illustration
into a stand-alone art. Edward Moxon's 1857 edition of Alfred, Lord
Tennyson's Poems dramatically redefined the relationship between
images and words in print. Cooke's study, the first book to address
the subject in over 120 years, presents a sweeping analysis of the
illustrators and the complex and challenging ways in which they
interpreted Tennyson's poetry. This book considers the volume's
historical context, examining in detail the roles of publisher,
engravers, and binding designer, as well as the material
difficulties of printing its fine illustrations, which recreate the
effects of painting. Arranged thematically and reproducing all the
original images, the chapters present a detailed reappraisal of the
original volume and the distinctive culture that produced it.
