Which book her theories first appeared in

I'm also a personal friend of Ellen's, which is why I wouldn't even dream of editing this page.

But I do want to point out to any future editors one thing which I think would uncontroversially improve the page: The ideas listed in the paragraph about her second book, Homo Aestheticus, were already expounded in her first book, What Is Art For?
