Abstract (en)

Attempts to reconstitute some of the conditions of meaning in which Turner's 1842 Snow Storm: Steamboat off a Harbor's Mouth (London, Tate Gallery) was produced and understood. Does so by examining the painting's impact on the various kinds of commentary that it gave rise to in newspapers, magazines, books, letters and diaries.
