Autor Marcy J. Dinius
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 apr 2012
Through a wide-ranging examination of antebellum images and literature, The Camera and the Press shows how Americans' first encounter with photography was more textual than visual. This thoroughly illustrated case study reexamines current theories on new media and reconnects print and visual culture in nineteenth-century America.

Recenzii

"A consummate feat of scholarship and descriptive prose."-TLS "An important and original study of interconnections between the daguerreotype and literary writing during the antebellum period. Dinius does a superb job of recovering the history of American responses to the daguerreotype, showing in particular the complex role of writing itself in that reception."-Robert S. Levine, University of Maryland "The greatest accomplishment of The Camera and the Press is the way Dinius has put texts and images into conversation with one another. She argues that 'daguerreian discourse' was instrumental in refiguring American society and culture and offers some wonderful new encounters with the problems of photographic representation."-Lisa Gitelman, New York University
