Beyond the Frame rewrites the history of Victorian art to explore the relationships between feminism and visual culture in a period of heady excitement and political struggle. Artists were caught up in campaigns for womens enfranchisement; education and paid work; and many were drawn into controversies about sexuality. This richly documented and compelling study considers painting; sculpture; prints; photography; embroidery and comic drawings as well as major styles such as Pre-Raphaelitism; Neo-Classicism and Orientalism. Drawing on critical theory and post-colonial studies to analyse the links between visual media; modernity and imperialism; Deborah Cherry argues that visual culture and feminism were intimately connected to the relations of power.

Handy for a creative nudge; but hardly feel "unleashed"By CustomerIt is a handy reference for "thumbnail" sketches of a variety of techniques and mediums used for art; both fine and craft.While nothing was particularly new or exciting; it convenient to have so many different methods in one book.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
