This book explores the intersections between Victorian literature, painting and photography. Taking as a starting point midnineteenthcentury 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 PreRaphaelites, and in the photographic technique of combination printing. She demonstrates how the novel presence of the camera in nineteenthcentury 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.
