Restless Enterprise

One of the best things about this book is that, in spite of its multitextured account of the artists life and work, the reader wants to know more about women artists in this period. . . . The authors clear and accessible prose helps the reader digest the multifaceted view that emerges from the book. * Panorama: Journal of the Association of Historians of American Art * "Manthornes prose is quite lyrical at times, and her visual analysis of Greatorexs compositions provide a fluid and balanced assessment of her work." * Imprint, Journal of the American Historical Print Society * "Manthornes study is a fascinating voyage...filled with a wealth of historical and social context. Most importantly, it significantly adds to our knowledge of nineteenth-century women artists and their experiences both in the US and abroad, and encourages us to further explore their roles as travelers and writers, and their efforts to occupy public spaces, whether on the streets, the exhibition gallery, or the studio, which they had been long denied." * Nineteenth Century Art World * "Manthorne chases [a] shadow to craft a robust and, at times, moving account of the life of this painter and etcher." * Irish Journal of American Studies *
