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.

Inglourious Basterds meets Stranger Things in this dark and thrilling tale of power, shadow, and revenge set during World War II. World War II is raging, and five teens are looking to make a mark. Daniel and Rebeka seek revenge against the Nazis who slaughtered their family; Simone is determined to fight back against the oppressors who ruined her life and corrupted her girlfriend; Phillip aims to prove that he's better than his worst mistakes; and Liam is searching for a way to control the portal to the shadow world he's uncovered, and the monsters that live within it--before the Nazi regime can do the same. When the five meet, and begrudgingly team up, in the forests of Germany, none of them knows what their future might hold. As they race against time, war, and enemies from both this world and another, Liam, Daniel, Rebeka, Phillip, and Simone know that all they can count on is their own determination and will to survive. With their world turned upside down, and the shadow realm looming ominously large--and threateningly close--the course of history and the very fate of humanity rest in their hands. Still, the most important question remains- Will they be able to save it?

Explores the meanings of photographic 19th century photographic discourse, both visual and verbal, as it related to the status and image of women and children. Of particular importance to the author is how the work of women photographers addressed issues of early feminism. In the course of the book she attempts to use the material to help form the basis of a new critical theory of photography which can take a place next to the more mature theory of film.

Starting with Walter Benjamin’s analogy of photography with magic, Lindsay Smith reconstructs nineteenth-century photography by considering its history and theorization, with reference to both the figure of the child and the photographs and photographic practices of Victorian women. She provides an engaging, inter-disciplinary perspective of her subject and its "politics of focus." "Focus" serving both as a photographic condition, and as a sign for broader questions of historical and cultural emphasis, in accounts of photographic discourse. Theoretically informed The Politics of Focus brings together a wealth of topics in photographic history: amateur and professional practitioners; different genres; men and women photographers; documentary and pictorial modes; different sitters and subjects; developing technologies. These themes cut across many of the central concerns of a conventional critical history of Victorian photography.
