Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism Gilbert Amongst Whistler Wilde Leighton Pater and Burne-Jones

Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism Gilbert Amongst Whistler Wilde Leighton Pater and Burne-Jones

Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism presents the first sustained re-evaluation of the life and work of one of the most acclaimed sculptors of the late-Victorian period. Drawing on important new archival sources this ground-breaking study challenges the customary assumption that Aestheticism was primarily a literary painterly or architectural phenomena. Jason Edwards reveals both the diverse ways in which Gilbert's sculptures operated within the context of Aestheticism and also how these works provided a unique and provocative commentary on the history of masculine friendship and eroticism in the period leading up to and beyond the Wilde trials in 1895. Detailed readings are offered of the relationship of Gilbert's work to essays by Pater and Swinburne poems plays and novels by Wilde and W. S. Gilbert and paintings by Burne-Jones Leighton Rossetti Solomon Whistler and Watts. With over 90 illustrations including key contemporary photographs showing Gilbert's works in their original contexts this book makes a major contribution to the field of Victorian sculpture studies. | Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism Gilbert Amongst Whistler Wilde Leighton Pater and Burne-Jones
