520 "This is the first book-length manuscript to investigate
the protracted collusion between Victorian sanitary
interests and nineteenth-century aesthetic philosophy.
Cleere challenges standard accounts of mid-Victorian
sanitation reform by focusing on the aesthetic
transformations brought about by the changing ideas
regarding health and cleanliness. Drawing from an array of
texts that inform her research agenda--including canonical
and non-canonical fiction, scientific studies, art history,
and home decoration manuals--Cleere links these seemingly
disparate works to demonstrate how they are connected at
the level of discourse and ideologies of harmony"--

520 "Eileen Cleere argues in this interdisciplinary study that
mid-century discoveries about hygiene and cleanliness not
only influenced public health, civic planning, and medical
practice but also powerfully reshaped the aesthetic values
of the British middle class. By focusing on paintings,
domestic architecture, and interior design, The Sanitary
Arts: Aesthetic Culture and the Victorian Cleanliness
Campaigns shows that the "sanitary aesthetic"
significantly transformed the taste of the British public
over the nineteenth century by equating robust health and
cleanliness with new definitions of beauty and new
experiences of aisthesis. Covering everything from
connoisseurs to custodians, Cleere demonstrates that
Victorian art critics, engineers, and architects-and even
novelists from George Eliot to Charles Dickens, Charlotte
Mary Young to Sarah Grand-all participated in a vital
cultural debate over hygiene, cleanliness, and aesthetic
enlightenment. The Sanitary Arts covers the mid-forties
controversy over cleaning the dirt from the pictures in
the National Gallery, the debate over decorative "dust
traps" in the overstuffed Victorian home, and the late-
century proliferation of hygienic breeding principles as a
program of aesthetic perfectibility, to demonstrate the
unintentionally collaborative work of seemingly unrelated
events and discourses. Bringing figures like Edwin
Chadwick and John Ruskin into close conversation about the
sanitary status of beauty in a variety of forms and
environments, Cleere forcefully demonstrates that
aesthetic development and scientific discovery can no
longer be understood as separate or discrete forces of
cultural change"--|cProvided by publisher.
