What is Portrait of a Marriage: John and Amelia Opie and the Sister Arts about?
have emphasized the importance of social interconnections in the period, replacing the long dominant myth of the Romantic artist as solitary genius with a more complex narrative of public and private affiliations. In revising the myth of isolated creativity, such studies locate our understanding of artistic production-both literary and graphic-within the debate concerning public and private spheres of interest that has emerged in criticism concerning the long Eighteenth Century and Romantic periods over the past two decades. 1 In this essay I want to explore the complexities of the private, domestic sphere of John and Amelia Opie and its implications for their artistic participation in the literary public sphere. Their companionate marriage offers perspectives on current inquiries into the function of both domestic space and the artist's studio, the place of sociability in the production of women's literary work, and the intersections of gender and class in the artistic world of 1790s London.
