Description
Christopher Rovee. Imagining the Gallery: The Social Body of British Romanticism. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2006. Pp. xii+251. $55.00. Imagine the faces of the Presidents of the United States in chronological order, or, if you will, those of British monarchs going back to George I. In doing this, you have created, in Christopher Rovee's use of the term, a gallery. As few of us have seen more than one or two presidents, kings, or queens, almost all of our images will necessarily be taken from photographs, paintings, engravings, and other representations. We are free to keep our galleries mental, or, if moved by patriotic, artistic, or entrepreneurial zeal, to turn them into external realities, whether online, in a bricks-and mortar space, or on the printed page. Our galleries would not of course be "objective" renditions; an integral part of the gallery is the spin put on its images. A future scholar examining our galleries might draw various conclusions about our society, as Christopher Rovee does about British visual culture in Imagining the Gallery.
