It is the first study to explore the global development of stained glass as showcased at and influenced by these events. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on hundreds of contemporary written and visual sources, the book recognises artists and makers, as well as those who reviewed and judged the exhibits. It provides close readings of specific exhibits in relation to stylistic developments, material and technological innovations, iconographic themes and visual ideologies. At the same time, it broadens approaches to post-medieval stained glass by examining the wider cultural, political, economic and global contexts of its production, circulation and critical reception. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach of the themed chapters highlights a different aspect of stained glass in the nineteenth century. This includes material taxonomies, modes of display, stylistic eclecticism, exhibitors' international networks, production and consumption, and nationalism and imperialism. The book challenges several methodological and historiographical assumptions and paradigms, making a substantial contribution not only to the history of stained glass, but to global nineteenth-century studies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJasmine Allen is Director and Curator of The Stained Glass Museum, the only museum dedicated to the art of stained glass in the UK, which boasts a national collection of stained glass from medieval to modern.
