Stephen Bann's Paul Delaroche makes impressive amends for long years of neglect. The Times Stephen Bann's exhaustive monograph makes a case for a "new" Delaroche, and he argues it with detailed analysis of both images and documents, a tangible enthusiasm for his subject and considerable persuasiveness. The Art Newspaper richly illustrated and beautifully produced Burlington Magazine Bann's very lucid narrative presents an important chapter in social history which has been inexplicably neglected; and, in presenting suggestive interpretations based upon political history, psychoanalysis narratology, it offers a rich array of materials other scholars are sure to borrow.
