This is the first major collection of essays specifically to address the impact of visual technologies on the production of literature in the twentieth century. "Literature and Visual Technologies" investigates the manifold effects which a visual century has wrought upon literary conventions. From the influence of Mutoscope parlours on Joyce's fiction, to the interrelation between Peter Greenaway's "A TV Dante," the collection consists of an integrated series of high-level intellectual engagements with a hundred years of cultural revolution and covers the whole twentieth-century, from silent to digital film.
