Reflecting on the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, this
notable book brings together a range of media and perspectives that
show how the conflict has been recorded and remembered over time.
Fifteen essays written by leading scholars in a variety of
disciplines explore visual representations of the war and its
remembrance from the mid-19th century to the present. The text is
organized in four sections on the themes of home, the battlefield,
public space, and heroism. Within these, famous images such as
Antietam battlefield photography are presented in a new light, and
discussions of lesser-known works-ranging from newspaper
illustrations to stained glass windows to public
sculpture-underscore their contemporary relevance to the war's most
problematic legacies. Four of the essays focus on one of the
central commemorations of the war, Augustus Saint-Gaudens's
memorial to Robert Gould Shaw in Boston, and its multiple meanings
and interpretations. Published by the National Gallery of Art,
Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts/Distributed by Yale
University Press
