A General Reading List

In general, anything written about Monamy before about 1830, except for Horace Walpole's contribution, is reasonably sensible. After this, the comments gradually degenerate, with only sporadic attempts to redress the balance. Something to do with Ruskin. English 18th, 19th and 20th century art criticism is dominated by Walpole, Ruskin and Blunt: an unholy trinity --- malicious, mad, mendacious.
