Reviews for Henry Raeburn: Critical Reception and International Reputation
Overall, these essays offer thoughtful and often provocative assessments of Raeburn's art, the context of his times and his place in British cultural history. They attest to the current vitality of Raeburn studies-scholarship soon to be augmented by a modern, full-scale catalogue of Raeburn's paintings.
