About the author
Selwyn Brinton (1859–1940) was a British writer active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Public information about him is limited, and details of his life, education and career are difficult to verify; only two of his works are held in this collection. Judging from these two books, his interests centred on European art history and British social and cultural history: Perugino discusses the Italian Renaissance painter Perugino, while The Eighteenth Century in English Caricature examines the development of English caricature in the eighteenth century. Both are informative works written for general readers and show a sustained engagement with art history and visual culture. Owing to the scarcity of materials, the broader influence and scholarly reception of his works remain to be further examined.
