The Reading Figure in Irish Art in the Long Nineteenth Century by Tricia Cusack

This book examines Irish portraits during the long nineteenth century in which figures read or hold a book. Reading fiction was cast as unmanly, while silent reading allowed women of means to read widely and privately. Portraits of such women helped construct the idea of the New Woman in Ireland.
