"Many art historians have emphasised the ways in which the Pre-Raphaelites imitated the art of the past. Prettejohn not only looks again at the nature of this imitation but demonstrates how it enabled them to contribute to the re-evaluation of that art." -Nicholas Penny, London Review of Books
"...a brilliantly realised excavation of the mindset of progressive Victorian painters."- Nicholas Tromans, Burlington Magazine
"a pleasure to read" - Susan Owens, TLS
"This is a finely written book, full of the kind of detail which would warrant further study." - Paul Flux, Albion Magazine Online
"a book to reference and return to" - Mark Jones, Pre-Raphaelite Society Review
"This book confirms Elizabeth Prettejohn as our foremost writer on Victorian art." - Andrew Saint, The Victorian
