Résumé:

"The reign of Queen Victoria witnessed a spectacular rise in the visibility, wealth and prestige of English artists and designers. Leading this resurgence was a group of artists who established their studios in and around the new, fashionable district of London's Holland Park. This book - the first major study of the Holland Park Circle of artists, architects, and their patrons - is both an engrossing narrative of their lives, works and influence and a perceptive analysis of the subtle relationships between high Victorian taste and mercantile values."--Jacket.
