Love Among the Archives
Part biography, part detective novel, part love story, and part meditation on archival research, Love Among the Archives is the story of two literary critics' attempts to track down Sir George Scharf, the founding director of the National Portrait Gallery
Love Among the Archives
In the most obvious sense, the book is a story about Sir George Scharf- Victorian antiquarian, man-about- London and founding director of the National Portrait Gallery- and his loving relationships with male friends. It is also, however, about other kinds of loves- George Scharf's and our own. The self-educated son of an immigrant artist, Scharf loved his work and the surprisingly elevated social life that grew up around it with titled friends and younger fellows.
