Book excerpt: Arguing in favour of a critical return to the 'nation' as a category, this study provides the first sustained account of artwriting in the British context over the full extent of its development from the eighteenth century to the present day. Mark A. Cheetham asks whether 'English' traditions of artwriting have been judged inappropriately according to imported criteria-and demonstrates that 'English Art Theory' is not an oxymoron.
