Informationen zum Autor Tricia Cusack taught at the University of Birmingham, Cardiff Metropolitan University, and the Open University. Her research focuses on how visual art embodies ideas about social, cultural, and national identities. Klappentext This book examines Irish portraits during the long nineteenth century in which figures read or hold a book. Reading fiction was cast as unmanly, while 'silent reading' allowed women of means to read widely and privately. Portraits of such women helped construct the idea of the 'New Woman' in Ireland.
