Scope note
Refers to the movement in British sculpture ca. 1870/1920 that aimed to revive the quality of British sculpture. Viewed as a departure from the conservativism and blandness of Neoclassicism, the style is characterized by greater realism, a tendency toward symbolism and fantasy, the use of non-Classical themes, and the use of materials other than marble.
