- Publisher description
Description
Emily Orlando contends that while Wharton’s early work presents women enshrined by men through art, the middle and later fiction shifts the seat of power to women. Edith Wharton and the Visual Arts is the first extended study to examine the presence in Wharton’s fiction of the Pre-Raphaelite poetry and painting of Rossetti and his muses, notably Elizabeth Siddall and Jane Morris.

Description
Examining images by photographers such as Weegee and Aaron Siskind and fiction by writers such as William Carlos Williams, Richard Wright, Tillie Olsen, and Pietro di Donato, he argues that these artists drew attention to the country’s most vulnerable residents by using what he calls an “aesthetic of astonishment,” focused on startling, graphic images of pain, injury, and prejudice.

Description
Of all the images to arise from the Harlem Renaissance, the most thought-provoking were those of the mulatta.

A Thousand Words : Portraiture, Style, And Queer Modernism

Attribution
Jaime Hovey
Publication Details
Book, Ohio State University Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents
Description
A Thousand Words argues that there is such a thing as queer modernism, and that the (mostly) literary portrait?one of the more prominent forms of experimentalism in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century writing?functions as one of its most important erotically dynamic aesthetic mechanisms, one modeled on visual portraiture?s relationships of looking between the artists, sitters, and spectators of paintings.

The Expressive Eye : Fiction And Perception In The Work Of Thomas Hardy

Attribution
J.B. Bullen
Publication Details
Book, Clarendon Press, 1986
Description
Bullen explores this fascinating link between the image and the idea in the fiction of Thomas Hardy, and demonstrates how Hardy approached his work from a particular “point of view” which not only determined the lighting, composition, and structure of his literary visual effects, but which also allowed him to express emotions and ideas in the direct, “vividly visible” fashion that is the hallmark of his greatest fiction.
