Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the portrayal of Irish figures in portraits from the long nineteenth century, particularly focusing on those depicted reading or holding books. It highlights the societal perception of reading fiction as unmanly and the emergence of 'silent reading' among affluent women, enabling them to engage with literature privately. These portraits played a significant role in shaping the concept of the 'New Woman' in Ireland, reflecting changing gender norms and the evolving landscape of women's roles in society.
