Victorian Art History Caucus

Representatives: Andrea Rager and Lindsay Wells
The Victorian Art History Caucus offers a network for scholars researching all aspects of art history, e.g., the art market, the social history of art, illustration, and visual culture in general. It is interdisciplinary, seeking to explore how the visual operated across disciplines, such as literature, anthropology, history, media. As a caucus, we also intend to advocate for the significance of art history within the long nineteenth century and its critical role within the study of visual cultures.

The caucus aims to explore all topics related to the study of Victorian visual culture, including economics, politics, gender/ sexuality, cosmopolitanism, and archival material. We welcome scholars in other disciplines and we welcome new perspectives and approaches to the field.
