Literature and Photography in Transition, 1850-1915 Reviews

"Elegantly, fluently written and based on both careful rereading and excellent archival research, this book is full of admirable moments. Clayton is extremely knowledgeable about nineteenth-century photographic techniques and their implications for how we read the literature of transatlantic modernity." - Denis Flannery, University of Leeds, UK
