This two-day symposium considers the state and meaning of scholarship on J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851), one of Britain’s most celebrated artists. Thinking through the extensive Turner historiography, this symposium explores some of the key ideas, underlying assumptions, and future directions of research. Panelists consider the place of their research within the broader field of British studies.
