This volume uncovers the social, political, and aesthetic role of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture in modern Britain following the removal of the Crystal Palace to the South London borough of Sydenham after 1851, assessing how classical art figured in debates over design reform, taste, beauty and morality, race and imperialism.
