British Art: Global Contexts provides a forum for the study of British art, design and visual culture in the global context from 1700 to the present day. Focusing upon the transport, location and reception of British art across the world; the British reception and exhibition of art from around the globe; and transnational and cosmopolitan art containing significant British components; the series seeks to problematize, historicise and specify the idea of ‘British’ art across the period, as it intersects with local, regional, international and global issues, communities, materials, and environments. Books to be published will include monographs and thematic studies, single authored works and edited volumes of essays, specialising in studies of British art within comparative and interdisciplinary frameworks.
The series will publish research which deals with fine art objects and the broader visual and material cultural environment of Britain and its historical territories, as well as with the global diaspora of British artists, genres, artefacts, materials and styles, and the contribution to British art of other global diasporas. Proposals are welcomed which deal with aspects of art and design history and visual culture, from the perspective of the colonising, decolonising and post-colonial world, global history, and the circum-Atlantic.
Please send letters of inquiry or full proposals to Meredith Norwich, Commissioning Editor for Visual Studies, mnorwich@ashgate.com, AND Jason Edwards,je7@york.ac.uk; Sarah Monks, s.monks@uea.ac.uk; and Sarah Victoria Turner,svt500@york.ac.uk.
