This book engages with the professional politics and labour practices of Romantic period artists and craftsmen as they translated creative literary work into visual art. Exploring the developing cultural tensions and connections that created a 'sister-art' movement in the period of new print technology and mass media.
Exploring the relationship between visual art and literature in the Romantic period, this book makes a claim for a sister-arts ''moment'' when the relationship between painting, sculpture, pottery and poetry held special potential for visual artists, engravers and artisans. Elaborating these cultural tensions and associations through a number of case studies, Thora Brylowe sheds light on often untold narratives of English labouring craftsmen and artists as they translated the literary into the visual. Brylowe investigates examples from across the visual spectrum including artefacts, such as Wedgwood''s Portland Vase, antiquarianism through the work of William Blake, the career of engraver John Landseer, and the growing influence of libraries and galleries in the period, particularly Boydell''s Shakespeare Gallery. Brylowe artfully traces the shifting cultural connections between the imaginative word and the image in a period that saw new print technologies deluge Britain with its first mass media.
