Book Description
Excerpt from The Gallery of Byron Beauties: Portraits of the Principal Female Characters in Lord Byron's Poems; From Original Paintings by Eminent Artists ON the narrative of the Bride of Abydos the mind dwells with melancholy interest, unmingled with any feeling of reprehension, for the lovers were innocent. Scarcely passed the age of childhood, and brought up in the seclusion of the Harem, the life of Zuleika was but a history of the affections. The heart of her adopted brother was her world; it was there that her ambition strove for empire it was there that her avarice sought for hidden treasures. She sent forth her sympathies on a venture; she embarked her whole soul in the traffic of affection; and when the storm gathered round the precious freight, and shipwreck was inevitable, the intensity of her suffering destroyed the sufferer. What can be more touchingly beautiful than the lines which follow, descriptive of this Child of Gentleness.

Julia Margaret Cameron’s ‘fancy subjects’
Author: Jeffrey Rosen
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1784997900
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 531
Book Description
Nominated for the William MB Berger Prize for British Art History 2017. The Victorians admired Julia Margaret Cameron for her evocative photographic portraits of eminent men like Tennyson, Carlyle and Darwin. However, Cameron also made numerous photographs that she called 'Fancy subjects', depicting scenes from literature, personifications from classical mythology, and Biblical parables from the Old and New Testament. This book is the first comprehensive study of these works, examining Cameron's use of historical allegories and popular iconography to embed moral, intellectual and political narratives in her photographs. A work of cultural history as much as art history, this book examines cartoons from Punch and line drawings from the Illustrated London News, cabinet photographs and autotype prints, textiles and wall paper, book illustrations and lithographs from period folios, all as a way to contextualise the allegorical subjects that Cameron represented, revealing connections between her 'Fancy subjects' and popular debates about such topics as Biblical interpretation, democratic government and colonial expansion.
