This book explores how Edwardian art writing shaped and narrated
embodied, performative forms of aesthetic spectatorship. It argues
that we need to expand the range of texts we think of as art
writing, and features a diverse array of critical and fictional
works, often including texts that are otherwise absent from
art-historical study. Multi-disciplinary in scope, this book
proposes a methodology for analyzing the aesthetic encounter within
and through art writing, adapting and reworking a form of
phenomenological-semiotic analysis found conventionally in
performance studies. It focuses on moments where theories of
spectatorship meet practice, moving between the varied spaces of
Edwardian art viewing, from the critical text, to the lecture hall,
the West End theatre and gallery, middle-class home, and fictional
novel. It contributes to a rethinking of Edwardian culture by
exploring the intriguing heterogeneity and self-consciousness of
viewing practices in a period more commonly associated with the
emergence of formalism.
