Christopher Rovee
Stanford University
English Department
Christopher Rovee is Assistant Professor of English at Stanford University. He is the author of Imagining the Gallery: The Social Body of British Romanticism. He is especially interested in the social meanings of decay and deterioration, and is currently working on three projects related to this: a book on refuse and art; a creative biography of William Morris; and a study of ruins and the picturesque in early photographic discourse.
Project Summary
Waste and the Lyric considers the value of the aesthetic in an overproductive nineteenth century. Examining the rampant association of art with refuse in Victorian Britain, the study focuses special attention on the lyric, which serves as a crux in debates about the place of art in an age of common-sensical utilitarianism.
