19th-century British culture frequently represented the eye as the pre-eminent organ of truth. These essays explore the relationship between the verbal and the visual in the Victorian imagination. They range broadly over such topics as the relationship of optical devices to the visual imagination, the role of photography in changing the conception of evidence and truth, the changing partnership between illustrator and novelist, and the ways in which literary texts represent the visual. Together they being to construct a history of seeing in the Victorian period.

From the Inside Flap:
"Looks freshly at facts that have remained marginal to most critics' sense of the literaturethe sheer mechanism of artistic and literary reproductions. These essays make an unusual, various, and interesting collection, with appeal to a great many constituencies."George Levine, author of Darwin and the Novelists

"This is an exciting collection linked by a series of contemporary critical assumptions and Victorian concerns. . . . For all their reconsideration of theory, the essays are written in a lively, jargon-free style that should give them popular as well as scholarly appeal."Carole Silver, coeditor of Socialism and the Literary Artistry of William Morris
