- This prize-winning 288pp. monograph established itself as the standard work in its field, with 146 citations on Google Scholar, and translations into five languages. A key text of the selfie era, it demonstrates sustained research effort over a wide historical range and numerous languages (work began over a decade ago with a book chapter on Rembrandt's Kenwood Self-Portrait). Through analysis of primary and secondary sources, it transforms our understanding of self-portraiture as a genre, highlighting the key role of the Christian middle ages, changing conceptions of the Narcissus myth, and the emergence of ‘whole body’ and ‘tracker’ self-portraits.
