About this book
Reviews
“This highly original book recasts how we think about art criticism and theory. Its attention to the performative rhetoric of art writing offers new and imaginative forms of interpretation that bring out the social and ideological dimensions of criticism. It will make an important contribution to our understanding of its subject, but its significance goes beyond its immediate theme of Edwardian England to suggest alternative ways of analysing art criticism more generally.” (Professor Matthew Rampley, Masaryk University, Czech Republic)
