This book explores the intersections between Victorian literature,
painting and photography. Taking as a starting point
mid-nineteenth-century developments in the understanding of visual
perception, Lindsay Smith examines the representation of a
pervasive desire for a literal understanding of the process of
seeing and perceiving. This is played out in the aesthetic theory
of John Ruskin, the early poetry of William Morris, paintings of
the Pre-Raphaelites, and in the photographic technique of
combination printing. She demonstrates how the novel presence of
the camera in nineteenth-century culture not only transforms acts
of looking, but also affects major social, aesthetic and
philosophical categories. By exploring the intricacies of
photographic discourse she shows how Ruskin and Morris produce a
critique of the earlier Cartesian perspectival model of vision.
