19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century is proud to announce that the spring 2019 issue is now live at https://www.19.bbk.ac.uk. ‘Old Masters, Modern Women’ is the result of collaboration between Birkbeck, University of London and the National Gallery, London and is co-edited by Maria Alambritis, Susanna Avery-Quash, and Hilary Fraser. One of 19’s largest issues, it brings to new prominence the nineteenth-century women who looked at art, and thought and wrote about it.
