The Mirror Steamed Over: Love and Pop in London, 1962
Auckland University Press‘With a special talent for zooming into a milieu, Byrt articulates the wisdoms of historical distance while transporting the reading into the local texture of time and place.’ – Matt Saunders, Harris K. Weston Associate Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University
‘The Mirror Steamed Over is a wonderfully written, affecting account of the personalities and layered complexities of life in and around the Royal College of Art in the early 1960s, making for a distinctive and original contribution to an important area of art history. The success of the undertaking rests on remarkable primary research standing behind the many unexpected observations and insights. There is no equivalent in the literature, and I recommend the book highly.’ – Thomas Crow, Rosalie Solow Professor of Modern Art, New York University, author of The Long March of Pop
