Review
'... impressively researched.' Sunday Telegraph Winner of the College Art Association Historians of British Art Book Award
' ... an excellent chapter on Victorian voyeurism and pornography ... she reproduces an example of Victorian illustrated pornography from the kind of book which Beardsley certainly knew and might well have parodied in his own work.' Richard Dorment, The Times Literary Supplement
'Miss Zatlin has much useful information on Japanese prints and on both the culture that spawned them and that which used them as a means to escape Western pictorial conventions. Her love of Japan recalls Wilde's 'Japan is not a place, it is a state of mind' and the book is excellently illustrated (placing Beardsley's work alongside ukiyo-e prints very effectively). James Malpas, The Art Newspaper
' ... the force of accumulated evidence for Beardsley's debt to Japanese art presented here is overwhelming.' Burlington Magazine
' ... well written, rigorous yet fluent and presented with attractive restraint'. The Art Book
