Abstract (en)

Kestner states: "The purpose of this book is to explore and investigate male attitudes towards women as these were expressed in the range of subjects and the iconographic strategies of 19th c. British classical-subject or mythological painting. These paintings used classical legend as social discourse to universalize misogynistic or gynophobic predispositions and ideas".
