Selected Bibliography

This bibliography is designed to serve as a research resource for students and future scholars. Therefore, it concentrates on Victorian sources that have been identified or located for the purposes of this study, together with earlier texts that were particularly influential in Aesthetic artistic circles, and on twentieth- and twenty-first-century texts that deal with Aestheticism in painting or closely related debates. It does not attempt even to summarize the enormous bibliography on Aestheticism in Victorian literature. In this area, only sources that are of special importance for the discussions of this book are included. Nor does it include general sources on Victorian painting and on the artists (many of these can, however, be found in the notes).
