Explores how art, design, and performance registered the changes in the Edwardian period (1901-1910) and helped to precipitate them. Acknowledging familiar divisions between the neo-Baroque magnificence of central London and the slums of the East End, this title discusses the middlebrow culture that characterizes the anonymous edge of the city.
Although numerous studies have explored the Edwardian period (1901–1910) as one of political and social change, this innovative book is the first to explore how art, design, and performance not only registered those changes but helped to precipitate them. While acknowledging familiar divisions between the highbrow world of aesthetic theory and the popular delights of the music hall, or between the neo-Baroque magnificence of central London and the slums of the East End, The Edwardian Sense also discusses the middlebrow culture that characterizes the anonymous edge of the city. Essays are divided into three sections under the broad headings of spectacle, setting, and place, which reflect the book’s focus on the visual, spatial, and geographic perspectives of the Edwardians themselves.
