Abstract:
During the mid-eighteenth century two museum institutions the British Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts were established, the former by Parliament, the latter by artists under the patronage of the Crown. In their origins and their early development they illustrate and help shape ideas relating to the growth of the notion of Britishness and English national identity. They were the theatres in which ideas about the kind of political nation Britain imagined itself to be were played out between loyalists (supporters of a reformed monarchy) and Whigs (mistrustful of the crown and jealous of the

Higher-level music education was in a poor state in mid-nineteenth-century Britain. In particular, the country’s most significant conservatoire, the Royal Academy of Music in London, suffered from a lack of financial support, poor management, and a reputation for mediocre teaching and amateurish standards. Responding to the need for an overhaul, the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce launched an investigation into the management of the Royal Academy of Music in 1865. The Society’s Committee interviewed a range of high-profile figures from Britain and abroad. The r

The figure of Jack Tar (the common seaman) and the facets of his service referenced in works on paper are investigated as constructs.

Abstract:
Abstract The Royal Academy was undoubtedly London’s and Britain’s leading professional fine arts school and exhibition society. However, the confinement of its operations to the Strand, London, clearly limited its direct impact on the nation’s artists and the public for art. With respect to exhibitions, William Carey, a figure at the margins of London’s art world and witness to the foundation of many provincial art institutions, estimated in 18m that ‘almost ninety five out of every hundred persons in the Empire, are cut off from any means of direct acquaintance with the British School’: Nearly the whole of the Academicians, the great Body of the Artists, and their annual exhibitions are confined, by circumstance, to the Capital; with little, if any, power, of ever influencing the taste of the distant parts of the Country. The Royal Academy may be compared to a genial fire, placed in too wide a circle to communicate warmth to its extremities … The French felt a similar deficiency, at a distance from Paris; and, to remedy it, founded their provincial Academies.

Abstract Riven by disputes, the Royal Society erupted in 1783, complaints against the president, Sir Joseph Banks, being ‘stopped by a clamour more worthy of a Covent Garden rabble than the fellows of a learned society’. A decade later An Authentic Narrative of the Dissensions and Debates in the Royal Society recorded renewed faction fighting over admissions and elections? Despite all the rhetoric of associational solidarity and the mechanisms for controlling admission and enhancing cohesion, societies often experienced internal conflict. The Royal Academy of Arts was set up in 1768 following a schism within the Incorporated Society of Artists of Great Britain, but the Academy proved equally prone to division. At the close of the century the professor of painting, James Barry, launched a noisy attack on the president, Benjamin West, and other members of the Council, making allegations of financial abuse. Nor were smaller societies immune. Exeter’s Literary Society suffered acrimonious exchanges in the 1790s, while Tiverton’s corporation club descended to family feuds and personal invective.1 2 The New England minister William Bentley remarked on the ‘many mortifications in such associations’, which led to animosities and division. On occasion, disputes might turn violent. In the 1730s we hear of an East Anglian ringing club, split over sharing the profits from ringing the peals at a wedding, where the members ‘fought till one died on the spot and another was desperately wounded’.

This chapter examines the Great Exhibition of 1851, which is considered an industrial audit of the world that included exhibits from Britain's empire and other foreign nations. It talks about the East India Company, a private company that exercised control over almost all of the Indian subcontinent that provided displays of the products of India in the Great Exhibition. It also explains the aim of the Great Exhibition, which was to reveal to merchants and manufacturers in Britain the kinds of raw materials that might be imported for Englishmen to work upon. The chapter highlights the Royal Society of Arts' activities over the previous century, which focused on the spread of information instead of awarding premiums for exploiting new resources. It describes how the products of Britain's colonies brought attention to merchants and manufacturers in Britain itself.

This chapter begins with the opening of the Great Exhibition on 1 May 1851, which attracted six million visitors, a tenth of the entire population of Great Britain. It recounts how Henry Cole managed to make himself indispensable to the Great Exhibition's organisation, in which he accumulated responsibilities that allowed him to gradually reassert control. It also mentions utilitarian reformers who came to exercise an extraordinary influence over the Royal Society of Arts and promoted the development of enlarged generalisations and comprehensive measures. The chapter discusses how Cole and his allies reformed the entire system on protecting intellectual property in order to look after the creations of inventors and manufacturers. It points out that the campaign for patent reform was one of the Society's most successful lobbying efforts ever.

Abstract:
The chapter examines intellectual interactions between Burke and Reynolds and contrasts their conceptions of the sublime, in order to determine the extent of Burke’s influence on his friend. Reynolds’s own conception of the sublime is shown to be solidly anchored in the neoclassical tradition and its assimilation of the sublime to the ‘great style’ as well as to Michelangelo’s terribilità. Yet, one may discern ways in which the Enquiry’s irrationalism filtered into Reynolds’s own theory of art, which suggests that he played a part in mediating his friend’s aesthetics for the Royal Academy of Arts. Reynolds’s reconciliation of the neoclassical notion of the ‘great style’ with a new emphasis on imagination and intensity of affect is then understood as one of the first stages in the development of ‘Burkean’ academic productions, which flourished from the mid-1770s onwards.

On the panels of its Great Room, a series of paintings by James Barrie, Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy, provides insight into the attitudes and beliefs of the merchant gentlemen who were its members. The purpose of these paintings—in the artist ‘s words—was to illustrate ‘one great maxim or moral truth, that the obtaining of happiness ... depends on cultivating the human faculties ‘. Man is shown beginning ‘in a savage state, full of inconvenience, imperfection and misery ‘. He then ‘progresses through several gradations of culture and happiness, which ... are finally attended with beatitude or misery ‘.

Abstract:
The flourishing of public exhibitions and gallery displays in London and around Britain from the 1760s to the 1830s has been subject to intensive academic scrutiny. Art exhibitions have been located at the heart of the major cultural transformations of the era, including the emergence of the ‘public sphere’, female spectatorship and cultural engagement, and the ascent of visually-orientated consumerism. This chapter charts the character and chronological framework of exhibitions culture in the Romantic period. It considers the ascendance of the Royal Academy, the brief flourishing of literary galleries of the 1790s, and the new ventures of the British Institution and various dedicated watercolour shows in the early 19th century, challenging the dominance of the Academy. Building on recent work which has focussed on systematic and structural features of exhibitions culture, the chapter addresses more directly than hitherto the question of how exhibitions culture can be situated in relation to the moral values associated with Romanticism. Utilising Colin Campbell’s unjustly neglected work on consumerism and Romanticism, I suggest how the phenomenon of exhibitions culture helped institute a structurally precarious, inherently competitive and individualist artistic field.

Abstract:
Abstract When Bülow first crossed Albion’s shores, in April 1873, the country was still widely regarded as ‘Das Land ohne Musik’. The profession itself was generally held in low esteem, particularly by the upper classes which had never regarded music as a fitting occupation for an English gentleman. During one of Liszt’s appearances in London, in 1840, Lady Blessington had inspected him through her lorgnette and had famously exclaimed, ‘What a pity to put such a man to the piano!’Amateurism was rife. The country had not produced a composer of major importance since Purcell. Despite the presence of the Royal Academy of Music, which had opened its doors in 1822, English musicians who wished to succeed usually went to the Continent to be ‘finished’, two of the favoured destinations being Paris or Leipzig, and when they returned home they often adopted for- eign names in order to enjoy a better career. The Industrial Revolution had created great wealth among the middle classes, however, and foreign musicians flocked to Britain because that is where the money was to be made; they ensured that the standard of orchestral music making, espe- cially in London, was relatively high. England’s great choral tradition was different. The rest of Europe had nothing to compare with it. The orato- rios of Handel and Mendelssohn, to say nothing of lesser composers, did not receive finer performances anywhere, even in Germany.
