Reviews

Matthew Rampley s status as one of the foremost scholars of the historiography of art is on full display in this meticulously researched and detailed account of the rise of the first Vienna School of art history. . . . Rampley s book is a necessary corrective and addition to the existing scholarship on the Vienna School. Max Koss, CritCom: A Forum for Research and Commentary on Europe


This is the most commendable art-historical text to come my way in a long time, a major intellectual achievement on all fronts. Very much to his credit, Rampley writes in gracefully lucid language, something that cannot be said about many scholars attracted to this material. </p>--Michael Yonan, <em>Austrian History Yearbook</em></p>


The first quality one might expect in yet another book on [this] subject would be a fair and consistent referencing of . . . secondary literature. With <em>The Vienna School of Art History: Empire and the Politics of Scholarship, 1847 1918</em>, Matthew Rampley fulfills this expectation meticulously; indeed the latter quality pervades the work as a whole, deftly managing a large body of information and complex thought within what is not an overly long book. </p> Stefan Muthesius, <em>CAA.Reviews</em></p>
