Writing Visual Histories

Writing History

The Writing History series publishes accessible overviews of particular fields in history, focusing on the practical application of theory in historical writing. Books in the series succinctly explain central concepts to demonstrate the ways in which they have informed effective historical writing. They analyse key historical texts and their producers within their institutional arrangement, and as part of a wider social discourse. The series holistic approach means students benefit from an enhanced understanding of how to negotiate the contours of successful historical writing.

Katherine Bond is a postdoctoral researcher and Irish Research Council, Government of Ireland fellow based at the School of History, University College Cork. Following an MA in Art History from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, Katherine completed her PhD in early modern History at the University of Cambridge on the subject of sixteenth-century costume albums in the reign of Habsburg emperor Charles V. Between 2018 and 2019 she was a postdoctoral researcher on the Swiss National Foundation-funded project Materialized Identities: Objects, Affects and Effects in Early Modern Culture 14501750, investigating the materiality and cultural significance of veils in Renaissance Europe. Her research interests centre around the visual and material culture of the early modern world, with a particular focus on dress practices, ethnography and cross-cultural exchanges.

Jonathan Conlin is a senior lecturer at the University of Southampton and a historian of British cultural history from around 1750 to the present. His first book, a history of the National Gallery (London), led him to consider the development of other cultural institutions on the margins of history/art history: from eighteenth-century pleasure gardens to television documentary series such as Civilisation (1969). He is also interested in exploring how Victorians employed concepts of evolutionary development in a range of non-scientific contexts, including art history and architecture. His books include Tales of Two Cities: Paris, London, and the Making of the Modern City (2013) and Evolution and the Victorians (2014) as well biographies of Adam Smith and Calouste Gulbenkian.
