From the DJ... "This fascinating Survey ranges over the early years of Victoria's reign and the vogue for literary genre, social realist and fairy paintings; analyses the brief life of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood in the 1850s and its enormous and far-reaching influence for virtually the rest of the century; discusses the various artistic movements--aesthetic, classical, romantic--and the 'giants' who created and contributed to them; and discusses the depiction of social ills and idealised life of the cottager during a period of rapid change and readjustment."
