The Last Romantics by John Christian
The third reprint of an indispensable resource for students and art historians alike. This book continues to be the only general survey of this field, covering the diverse group of talent from the decline of Pre-Raphaelitism in the late 19th century to the rise of "Neo-Romanticism" in the 1940s.From Burne-Jones to Stanley Spencer, with sculpture and children's book illustrators, there is no other volume as comprehensive or as broad of scope.

Recently he has worked on Hidden Burne-Jones (Birmingham Art Gallery, 2007) and a major exhibition of Pre-Raphaelite paintings and decorative arts in Japan. The author lives in England.
