In order to demonstrate the importance of incongruity and disorder, Pappas brings together two worlds that may seem incompatible: nineteenth-century literary writers involved in naturalism and the organisation of permanent collections of later nineteenth-century French art in today's museums. Drawing on the art novels and art criticism of these writers, the book provides optimal access to the questions that continue to haunt the categorisation and display of nineteenth-century art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919605743774,"sku":"ING-9781487549008","price":131.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487549008.jpg?v=1782813902","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487549008","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
