商品簡介
Art historians, mostly American, focus for the most part on images produced as art, but place them within a large representational and historical context, visual and otherwise. They find ideologies of childhood starkly illustrated during the 18th and 19th centuries as images show ideal childhood becoming increasingly commercialized. Among their topics are gendering erotic response in 18th-century France, the role of Emile in the formation of Gustave Courbet's The Painter's Studio , and Lewis Carroll and Alice. Annotation c.
