Lady Colin Campbell (1858-1911) was an excellent writer, painter, fencer, swimmer, angler, cyclist and equestrienne. In addition, she was the central figure of scandal in a divorce trial. This volume reveals her "crime" to be a reluctance to conform to the role of passive Victorian woman.

A biography of the painter and decorative artist set against the background of the Victorian era, examining his sometimes controversial personal life, his friendship with other contemporary painters, and assessing his artistic career.
