Nineteenth-Century Contexts: An Interdisciplinary Journal

The journal is committed to interdisciplinary recuperations of “new” nineteenth centuries and their relation to contemporary geopolitical developments. The journal challenges traditional modes of categorizing the nineteenth century by forging innovative contextualizations across a wide spectrum of nineteenth century experience and the critical disciplines that examine it. Articles not only integrate theories and methods of various fields of inquiry — art, history, musicology, anthropology, literary criticism, religious studies, social history, economics, popular culture studies, and the history of science, among others — but also test and open up the very limits of disciplinary boundaries. The link to the past and current issues can be accessed via www.tandf.co.uk/journals/ncc..

A CLOSER LOOK AT SOME PUBLICATIONS

Stephen Kite. Adrian Stokes: An Architectonic Eye. Legenda: Oxford, 2009. £45.00 ($89.50 US) Hardback, ISBN-13: 9781905981892

Adrian Stokes (1902–72) — aesthete, critic, painter and poet —is among the most original and creative writers on art of the twentieth century. He was the author of over twenty critical books and numerous papers, and in particular the remarkable series of 1930s titles — The Quattro Cento (1932), Stones of Rimini (1934), and Colour and Form (1937) — that embraced Mediterranean culture and modernity. His criticism extends the evocative English aesthetic tradition of Walter Pater and John Ruskin into the present, endowed by a stern sensibility to the consolations offered by art and architecture, and the insights that psychoanalysis affords. For Stokes architecture provides the entrée into art, and this is the first study which comprehensively examines Stokes’s theory of art from a specifically architectonic perspective. Kite explores the crucial experiences through which this awareness evolved, traces the influence upon Stokes of places, texts and personalities, and examines how his theory of art developed and matured. The argument is supported by appropriate illustrations showing that Stokes’s claim for architecture as mother of the arts carries the deepest experiential and psychological import.

Anselm Heinrich, Kate Newey and Jeffrey Richards, eds. Ruskin, the Theatre and Victorian Visual Culture. Palgrave Macmillan, 08 Apr 2009. £50.00, Hardback, ISBN: 9780230200593

This book brings together original research in theatre and the visual arts, around the common object of a revaluation of the intersections of the theatre and visual culture. Contributors are drawn from a stimulating mix of highly-esteemed and established scholars (such as Shearer West, Jim Davis, Richard Foulkes and David Mayer) and new scholars, bringing fresh research materials into the mix.

The collection offers a set of essays around a theme of emerging interest in Victorian studies. There are few books focused on the theatre and the visual arts since Martin Meisel's Realizations. Since then, essay length pieces have been published by prominent theatre and art historians, several of whom are contributors to this work. The multi-author nature of this collection of essays allows a broader range of original material to be examined, and a number of critical approaches to be pursued. The collection is made coherent by the focus on John Ruskin's aesthetic and cultural theories, and their application to a re-evaluation of the popular theatre of the late nineteenth century. All contributors are working within a theoretical framework which challenges Modernist historiographical assumptions about a theatre in moral and aesthetic decline in this period.
