The first edition of The Dictionary of Victorian Painters was published in 1971 and contained details of 1,800 artists together with 250 illustrations. It rapidly became the accepted text book on the subject and was reprinted four times until a second, revised and much enlarged edition with 11,000 entries and 550 illustrations appeared in 1978. It was perhaps inevitable that, with the huge growth of interest in the art of the period and the author’s ongoing research, a further revision and format was felt necessary.The Dictionary is now revised in two volumes, each complementary to one another yet entirely independent works depending upon the particular interest of the reader. The first volume contains over 11,000 entries, which have been revised and updated where appropriate to reflect recent research, as well as much additional material.

In many cases the entries are treated as short essays and contain details of exhibitions and gallery viewings of artists’ works. Much of the information is not to be found in any other works making the Dictionary an invaluable source of reference.The second volume contains an historical survey and illustrations - 750 black and white and 40 colour plates. This new format reflects more effectively the tremendous output and range of paintings of the time. These are prefaced by a detailed historical survey by the author of the important painters and influences of the period. In short the reader is furnished with a comprehensive, visual and written account of this exciting period in British art.
