The works of the Pre-Raphaelites are among the best known and best loved of all English paintings, and yet there has been a tendency to dismiss them as mere Victoriana, and to deny them their proper status as works of art. This pioneering critical history places the movement in its historical setting, relating the individual painters and their art to the larger concerns of nineteenth-century society. Virtually every major Pre-Raphaelite painting is discussed and illustrated, as well as works by the movement's many minor talents. 157 illus., 21 in color.

No single aspect of our national art is more likely to depress the historian than is portraiture. And yet English people have always had much respect for this branch of art, so much so that a great deal of mediocre painting is revered in the long galleries of country houses, and the halls of fame, because of either reverence for ancestry or an awestruck regard for Important People (the outstanding examples of this feeling are in Hampton Court Palace, the halls of Oxford colleges, and the National Portrait Gallery). The first president of the Royal Academy, Reynolds, was a portrait painter. He made a lot of money out of it. The practice of portraiture has always been a staple for artists who earn their living without of art (and especially, it must be said, staple for bad artists).
