This book explores the development of artists' biographies in the cultural context of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. It argues that the proliferation of a myriad biographical forms mirrored the privileging of artistic originality and difference within an art world that had yet to generate a coherent 'British School' of painting.
