商品簡介
Rovee (English, Stanford U.) takes an unusual and fruitful approach to what has previously been seen as the age of the sublime landscape. He contends that the rise of portraiture in the Romantic period helped remake the body politic in the image of the private individual. He supports his arguments with examples such as the Pemberley family gallery in Austen's Pride and Prejudice, printed portraits of working men and women, and Frankenstein's monster, which is itself a gigantic, living portrait.
