Writing[]

Hartley is the author of two books.

Physiognomy and the Meaning of Expression in Nineteenth-Century Culture (2001) explores the concepts of physiognomy and eugenics and raises questions about what are "legitimate" sciences.[2] She describes how "the appeal of physiognomy lay not so much in any of its scientific pretension but rather in how it seemed to validate an already widespread cultural conviction."[3]

Democratising Beauty in Nineteenth-Century Britain: Art and the Politics of Public Life was published by Cambridge University Press, 2017.
