Book Synopsis History's Beauties by : Lara Perry

Download or read book History's Beauties written by Lara Perry and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'beauties' - women of note - who were welcomed to the National Portrait Gallery's early collection were those whose lives and portraits were recognized as significant to the 'civil, ecclesiastical and literary history of the nation'. This brief was interpreted to include figures as diverse as the devout Lady Margaret Beaufort, and the entertaining Lady Emma Hamilton. History's Beauties, the first detailed study of this collection, maps a culture of femininity that reframes the Victorian fascination with women's domestic and sentimental presence by locating it within a Parliament-centred 'national' culture.
