Abigail Zitin proposes a new history of the development of form as a concept in and for aesthetics. She presents a new genealogy of formalism, revealing how concepts of craft and skill inflect major eighteenth-century theories of beauty by thinkers including Locke, Addison, Burke, and Kant. Vividly tracing the period’s convergences of aesthetic theory and artistic practice, this book challenges readers to reconsider form and why it matters.

A groundbreaking study of the development of form in eighteenth-century aesthetics In this original work, Abigail Zitin proposes a new history of the development of form as a concept in and for aesthetics. Her account substitutes women and artisans for the proverbial man of taste, asserting them as central figures in the rise of aesthetics as a field of philosophical inquiry in eighteenth-century Europe. She shows how the idea of formal abstraction so central to conceptions of beauty in this period emerges from the way practitioners think about craft and skill across the domestic, industrial, and so-called high arts. Zitin elegantly maps the complex connections among aesthetics, form, and formalism, drawing out the understated presence of practice in the writings of major eighteenth-century thinkers including Locke, Addison, Burke, and Kant. This new take on an old story ultimately challenges readers to reconsider form and why it matters.
