Pictorial Victorians
the inscription of values in word and image
by Julia Thomas
"Pictorial Victorians focuses on two of the most popular mid-nineteenth-century genres - illustration and narrative painting - that blurred the line between the visual and the textual. Illustration negotiated text and image on the printed page, while narrative painting juxtaposed the two media in its formulation of pictorial stories." "Pictorial Victorians surveys a range of material, from representations of the crinoline, to the illustrations that accompanied Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin and Tennyson's poetry, to paintings of adultery. It demonstrates that the space between text and image is one in which values are both constructed and questioned."--BOOK JACKET.
