ARTHUR RACKHAM by James Hamilton

This monograph examines the work of the illustrator, Arthur Rackham, and traces his achievements. Rackham's illustrations for such works as "Rip Van Winkle", "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens", "Alice in Wonderland" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" have attained the classic status of the writings themselves - indeed, in some cases - they have become synonymous with them. Rackham himself, however, has previously remained a shadowy figure.

James Hamilton is an art and cultural historian. His books include TURNER: A LIFE, FARADAY: THE LIFE, shortlisted for the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and A STRANGE BUSINESS: MAKING ART AND MONEY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN, which in 2014 was named Art Book of the Year by the SUNDAY TIMES.

Hamilton was until retirement in 2013 curator of art collections and projects in Portsmouth, Wakefield, Sheffield, Leeds and the University of Birmingham, where he is a Fellow of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts.
