Poetic Exhibitions: Romantic Aesthetics and the Pleasures of the British MuseumBucknell University Press, 2001 - 284 Seiten "Poetic Exhibitions seek both to enrich the study of modern museums with the insights of literary theory and to establish a more practical connection between Romanticism and its attendant ideologies. By reading the aesthetic reflections of such writers as Joseph Addison, William Hogarth, Edmund Burke, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge in relation to the exhibitionary plans and popular guidebooks for the early museum, Gidal demonstrates the connections between abstract theory and cultural politics. By reflecting upon the collections and excavations of Sir Hans Sloane, Lord Elgin, Charles Townley, and Austen Henry Layard in relation to their institutional acquisition, he explores the poetics of national incorporation. |
