Picturing the Past: English History in Text and Image, 1830-1870 (Oxford Historical Monographs) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Through a series of interrelated case-studies of nineteenth-century history books, history textbooks, and historical novels, Rosemary Mitchell draws out the attitudes of Victorians toward their national past. She highlights how history--once a popular pastime--became the preserve of professionals and how both the text and images in popular and scholarly publications contributed to Victorian cultural identities.

Review
"Mitchell writes eruditely but readably...This book is a fine example of deconstructionist scholarship--and proof that it need not be obscured behind a veil of jargon."--CHOICE
"Rosemary Mitchell's impressive study of nineteenth-century popular history and historical fiction provides a welcome reminder of their significance in the formation of contemporary British national identity. She has given us much to consider by providing cogent analysis of the genre and form of nineteenth-century popular history."--American Historical Review
