An extraordinary collection of pieces from the three plus decade career of one of Britain’s most important Marxist art-historians.

This collection brings together for the first time many of the influential Marxist art-historian Andrew Hemingway's most important works on Romantic landscape painting. With a careful eye for both the ideological and aesthetic aspects of a wide range of pieces, Hemingway's keen insights offer stunning new perspectives on some of the most important painters of the era.

Andrew Hemingway is Emeritus Professor in History of Art at University College London. His books include Landscape Imagery and Urban Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Britain (Cambridge University Press, 1992) and The Mysticism of Money: Precisionist Painting and Machine Age America (Periscope Publishing, 2013).
