»Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha as Collector, Educator and Cultural Tranferant«: The role of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1819–1861) as cultural transferant between Britain and the German lands has long been undervalued. This study reassesses his contribution to British life through the lens of cultural transfer theory. Examining Albert’s education, collecting and working practices, it focuses on his pivotal role in the Great Exhibition of 1851. The book establishes Prince Albert as a major European cultural transferant, particularly evident in the South Kensington complex of museums known as Albertopolis.weiterlesen
