Media Reviews
'Dr Quinn's book is a well-informed and persuasive study of the links between art and commerce in nineteenth-century Britain. His book is a must-read for all scholars interested in Utilitarian or art issues.' Cercles 'This is a fascinating, original study. It penetrates to the radically democratic core of Bentham's aesthetic ideas.' Journal of Bentham Studies 'Quinn's tight emphasis on the 'art school' and the focus on Jeremy Bentham's writing ... is unprecedented.' Art Monthly
