Description
This critique of the portrayal of women in pre-Raphaelite art and its related literature covers artists such as Rossetti, Millais, Holman Hunt, Arthur Hughes, William Morris and Burne-Jones. The human subjects of these portrayals are studied from the point of view of artist, painting, viewer and society. The heart-sick, sex-starved women depicted in many of the paintings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, for example, are set in a feminist reading context and the different ways in which different viewers react to "The Lady of Shallott" (by Waterhouse) are explained with reference to a feminist schemata.
Table of Contents
- Towards a theory of gendered reading
- the virgin - solid frames
- Beatice - hazy outlines
- Mariana - gorgeous surfaces
- the Lady of Shalott - cracking the mirror
- Isabella - sharp differences
- Madeline - ghostly signifiers
- Guenevere - emergent heroines
- Venus - Pyrrhic victory
- gendered reading in practice.
