Reviews

'This book provides a compelling example of the interdisciplinary value of museum studies and of the museum's importance as a place at which culture, history, and society intersect... Poole's book contributes to debates about the making of the British upper class and to the way in which its gendered identity was negotiated at London's museums.'
*American Historical Review: April 2011*

‘Anyone who loves the great London galleries will find this dissection of their behind-the-scenes controversies both entertaining and enlightening.’
*Canadian Journal of History, vol 47: 2012*
