The Civil War was the first 'image war', as photographs of the
battlefields became the dominant means for capturing an epochal
historical moment. At the same time, writers used the Civil War to
present both their notions of nation and their ideas about the new
intersections between photography and literary form. Through The
Negative offers an account of the collisions between print and
visual culture in the work of Hawthorne, Melville, Twain and Crane
as they responded to and incorporated the work of such
photographers as George Barnard, Alexander Gardner and Jacob Riis.
Through the Negative examines how key nineteenth-century American
writers attempted to combat, understand, and incorporate the advent
of photography in their fiction. In so doing, Megan Williams
demonstrates how analyzing the impact of photography on the diverse
narrative histories of the nineteenth century yields fresh insights
about contemporary art and writing, as the photographic image
continues to shape national consciousness.
