The aesthetic movement in England

by Walter Hamilton

Hamilton’s famous defence of the Aesthetic Movement was first published in 1882. The contents were later updated and expanded for the third edition, of which this current edition is a reprint. A superb source of information regarding the reactions of contemporaries to Aesthetic poetry and the Pre-Raphaelite School of painting, this highly enjoyable and frequently amusing volume contains sections on Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, John Ruskin, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Oscar Wilde, The Grosvenor Gallery, and the Bedford Park Estate.
