- This monograph (pp.269) presents a wide-ranging reassessment of the way Victorians thought and wrote about visual experience from 1840-1900. Using extensive archival material, it argues that new visual technologies gave expression to new ways of seeing, using these to uncover the visual discourses that facilitated, informed and shaped the way people conceptualised and articulated visual experience. In doing so, the book reconsiders literary and non-fiction works by well-known authors including George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Herbert Spencer, and Joseph Conrad, as well as lesser-known works drawn from the periodical press, and provides fresh insight into connections across media and contexts.
