Description and Table of Contents
Description
Analysing a broad range of texts by inventors, cultural critics, photographers, and novelists, this book argues that Victorian photography ultimately defined the concept of memory for generations to come - including our own.
The book will be of interest to students of Victorian and modernist literature, visual culture and intellectual history, as well as scholars working within the emerging field of research at the intersection of photographic and literary studies.
