Media Reviews
"... I commend Kamensky's skill as a writer. Even if you had little interest in such a man as Copley, this is a deeply enjoyable book." -- David Aaronovitch, Book of the Week - The Times
"Jane Kamensky’s brilliant new biography... a spirited and at times heartbreaking narrative of [Copley’s] life and the tumultuous world he inhabited." -- Literary Review
"...intriguing... richly layered biography..." -- Times Literary Supplement
"Jane Kamensky has not only crafted a stunning biography but also a truly singular account of The American Revolution. A Revolution in Color masterfully unravels any easy distinctions between patriots and loyalists." -- Amanda Foreman
"... lively and insightful book... Kamensky has produced an exemplary historical biography... A Revolution in Color is a thumping good read and makes a significant contribution to our appreciation of the often misunderstood and underappreciated Copley." -- Loyd Grossman - The Burlington Magazine
"... very readable account of the life and times of John Singleton Copley." -- The Art Newspaper
"Copley was in London when resistance escalated into war. This profile brings his world alive, exploring the difficult relationships between liberty and slavery, family duty and personal ambition." -- What We're Reading - The Independent
