Bibliography

Index


“Mathew Rampley’s book is essential reading for the study of the politics of art-historical debate, displaying both its complexity and its internal contradictions. Its particular strength is its wide-ranging coverage of original source materials, drawing attention to the work of hitherto marginalized art historians both in Vienna and across the empire.”

—Richard Woodfield, editor of the Journal of Art Historiography
