Framing the Victorians
Author: Jennifer Green-LewisPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 9780801432767
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
A wide-ranging exploration of the complex and often conflicting discourse on photography in the nineteenth century, Framing the Victorians traces various descriptions of photography as art, science, magic, testimony, proof, document, record, illusion, and diagnosis. Victorian photography, argues Jennifer Green-Lewis, inspired such universal fascination that even two so self-consciously opposed schools as positivist realism and metaphysical romance claimed it as their own. Photography thus became at once the symbol of the inadequacy of nineteenth-century empiricism and the proof of its totalizing vision. Green-Lewis juxtaposes textual descriptions with pictorial representations of a diverse array of cultural activities from war and law enforcement to novel writing and psychiatry. She compares, for example, the exhibition of Roger Fenton's Crimean War photographs (1855) with W. H. Russell's written accounts of the war published in the Times of London (1884 and 1886). Nineteenth-century photography, she maintains, must be reread in the context of Victorian written texts from and against which it developed. Green-Lewis also draws on works by Thomas Hardy, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry James, as well as published writing by Victorian photographers, in support of her view that photography provides an invaluable model for understanding the act of writing itself. We cannot talk about realism in the nineteenth century without talking about visuality, claims Green-Lewis, and Framing the Victorians explores the connections.
Manhattan Manners
Author: M. Christine BoyerPublisher: Rizzoli International Publications
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
"Manhattan Manners: Architecture and Style, 1850-1900 mines a wealth of vintage photographs, maps, and historic periodicals to recreate the era during which the characteristics that distinguish Manhattan as a city to this day-innovation, eclecticism, peripatetic fashion, and a dizzying pace of commercial and real estate development-were formed. A depiction and an assessment of New York City in the second half of the Nineteenth Century, Manhattan Manners is a tour of a quintessentially urban American place from its great public parks, squares, monuments, and fashionable boulevards to its ever-changing neighborhoods of private town houses, brownstones, luxury apartments, and tenement buildings."--Publisher's description.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
These twenty superbly crafted linked stories navigate the difficult realm of friendship, charting its beginnings and ends, its intimacies and betrayals, its joys and humiliations. A mother learns something of the nature of love from watching her young daughter as she falls in and out of favour with a neighbourhood girl. An intricate story of two women reveals a friendship held together by the steely bonds of passivity. A chance sighting in a library prompts a woman to recall the “unconsummated courtship” she was drawn into by a male colleague. With trenchant insight, uncommon honesty, and dark humour, Elizabeth Hay probes the precarious bonds that exist between friends. The result is an emotionally raw and provocative collection of stories that will resonate with readers long after the final page.
