Anna Jameson: Letters and Friendships (1812 1860) (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Anna Jameson: Letters and Friendships (1812 1860)
Anna jameson, so celebrated in her time as a brilliant writer on art, has left behind her books that maintain their popularity to the present day. She was a prolific worker, producing travel sketches, essays and addresses on social questions, as well as those writings on artistic subjects on which her fame rests.
While acknowledging the excellence of her books, which are unique in their own line, we must admit that she was badly equipped as a critic and cared little for the technique of art. In that, however, she was not singular. There was little writing on art in the England of her day and that little was not good; modern criticism, as we know it, was yet to be born. Ruskin, who practically started the aesthetic movement in this country, was twenty five years her junior and did not publish the first volume of Modern Painters until seventeen years after she had produced The Diary of an Ennuyée.
