Opis

Building on work in visual culture studies that emphasizes the interplay between still and moving images, In and Out of Sight provides a new account of the relationship between photography and modernist writing-revealing the conceptual space of literary modernism to be radically constructed around the instability of female bodies.

Recenzje

Alix Beeston's In and Out of Sight is one of several exciting and innovative accounts of the relation between literature and photography to appear in recent years, studies that have charted a new course for the field away from a focus on questions of realism and indexicality... the readings that emerge are powerful and persuasive... [it] is a welcome contribution to modernist and visual studies, persuasive evidence that these intertwined fields remain as vibrant as ever.
