Jane Morris: The Burden of History
No full textThis is a scholarly monograph devoted to Jane Morris, an icon of Victorian art whose face continues to grace a range of Pre-Raphaelite merchandise. Described by Henry James as a 'dark, silent, medieval woman', Jane Burden Morris has tended to remain a rather one-dimensional figure in subsequent accounts. This book, however, challenges the stereotype of Jane Morris as silent model, reclusive invalid, and unfaithful wife. Drawing on extensive archival research as well as the biographical and literary tradition surrounding William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the book argues that Jane Morris is a figure who complicates current understandings of Victorian female subjectivity because she does not fit neatly into Victorian categories of feminine identity. She was a working-class woman who married into middle-class affluence, an artist's model who became an accomplished embroiderer and designer, and an apparently reclusive, silent invalid who was the lover of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Wilfred Scawen Blunt. Jane Morris particularly focuses on textual representations - in letters, diaries, memoirs and novels - from the Victorian period onwards, in order to investigate the cultural transmission and resilience of the stereotype of Jane Morris. Drawing on recent reconceptualisations of gender, auto/biography, and afterlives, this book urges readers to think differently - about an extraordinary woman and about life-writing in the Victorian period. It is the first scholarly study of Jane Morris, which seeks to challenge the stereotype surrounding her as melancholy invalid and Pre-Raphaelite femme fatale. It is an innovative case study of the role of class, gender and sexuality in the formation of Victorian feminine subjectivity. It is a contribution to emerging field of new biography and Victorian afterlives through the inclusion and examination of a wide variety of texts which construct the self. It is an original exploration of feminine creative agency that challenges conventional understandings of masculine artistic autonomy in the Victorian period

Evelyn de Morgan's Portrait of Jane Morris (study for The Hourglass) and the Politics of Gender in Pre-Raphaelite Art
No full textThis thesis examines an understudied aspect of an extensively-studied movement: the role of women as artists and models in Pre-Raphaelite art. Focusing on a singular image of a popular Pre-Raphaelite model by a woman artist - Evelyn de Morgan's Portrait of Jane Morris (study for The Hourglass) from 1904-I am to contribute to the growing scholarship surrounding the vastly underrepresented women artists of Pre-Raphaelitism, while also investigating their influences in the development and recognition of women artists, the feminine image in art, and gender roles and expectations up until the contemporary age.Evelyn de Morgan's Portrait of Jane Morris (study for The Hourglass) presents a unique image of Morris in her later life, contrasting strongly with the radiant and stylized young woman that Dante Gabriel Rossetti had made iconic in the 1860s and 1870s. Here Jane Morris is presented with silvery grey hair pinned up to the nape of her neck, a sharp departure from the signature long billowing brown hair that formed a highlight of Rossetti's many well-known images of Morris. De Morgan further emphasizes signs of age in the crease of Morris's furrowed brow, the darkened circles under her eyes, and the broad width of her nose. Interestingly, none of these descriptors of age are carried over into the painting for which this image serves as a study, The Hourglass of 1905. By analyzing the singular qualities of de Morgan's approach to Morris as a model, and by situating those qualities in relationship to Pre-Raphaelite art and the complex place of women within that movement, I hope to challenge conventional narratives of Pre-Raphaelitism by re-asserting the specificity and diversity of women's contributions as both artists and models.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
