Description

This book concerns nineteenth-century British paintings and novels concerning sisters, examining the way the works of Reynolds, Millais, Austen, Scott, Dickens, Gaskell, Eliot, and others use sisters as metaphors for the relation of all women and as ways to introduce the main public concerns of women in the century. Illustrated.
