Picture World

Image, Aesthetics, and Victorian New Media

By: Rachel Teukolsky

The modern media world came into being in the nineteenth century, when machines were harnessed to produce texts and images in unprecedented numbers. In the visual realm, new industrial techniques generated a deluge of affordable pictorial items, mass-printed photographs, posters, cartoons, and illustrations. These alluring objects of the Victorian parlor were miniaturized spectacles that served as portals onto phantasmagoric versions of 'the world.' Although new kinds of pictures transformed everyday life, these ephemeral items have received remarkably little scholarly attention. Picture World shines a welcome new light onto these critically neglected yet fascinating visual objects. They serve as entryways into the nineteenth century's key aesthetic concepts. Each chapter pairs a new type of picture with a foundational keyword in Victorian aesthetics, a familiar term reconceived through the lens of new media. 'Character' appears differently when considered with caricature, in the new comics and cartoons appearing in the mass press in the 1830s; likewise, the book approaches 'realism' through pictorial journalism; 'illustration' via illustrated Bibles; 'sensation' through carte-de-visite portrait photographs; 'the picturesque' by way of stereoscopic views; and 'decadence' through advertising posters. Picture World studies the aesthetic effects of the nineteenth century's media revolution: it uses the relics of a previous era's cultural life to interrogate the Victorian world's most deeply-held values, arriving at insights still relevant in our own media age.

The Literate Eye

Victorian Art Writing and Modernist Aesthetics

By: Rachel Teukolsky

Rather than focusing on German philosophy or the French avant-gardes, as many books on the history of aesthetics do, Teukolsky takes up British responses to modern art controversies, thus providing a unique view on the development of artistic forms and art history. She considers the canonical writing of authors like John Ruskin, Walter Pater, and Oscar Wilde alongside texts belonging to the rich field of Victorian print culture--gallery reviews, scientific treatises, satirical cartoons, advertisements, and early photography monographs among them. Spanning the years 1840 to 1910, her argument also adds substance to our understanding of the transition from Victorianism to modernism, a period of especially lively exchange between artists and intellectuals, here narrated with careful attention given to the historical particularities and real events that stamped their imprint on such interactions.

Writing on Fire

A Fierce Yet Friendly Guide to Writing Humanities Essays in College

By: Rachel Teukolsky

What’s the best way to write a paper that analyzes a novel, a poem, a work of art, a film, or a set of historical documents? Writing on Fire focuses intensively on the fundamentals of writing college humanities papers. Each chapter offers tips, tricks, and templates that students won’t find anywhere else. The book speaks directly to young writers in language that’s fun and accessible, and is designed to work in the classroom, in the dorm room, or at the kitchen table—anywhere that writing work takes place. The book moves in order from the broadest questions of structure to the most detailed questions of sentences and style. Designed for maximum appeal and usefulness, each chapter has a concise title naming a key component of the writing process—from “Keywords” and “Thesis Statement” to “Structure” and “Paragraphs.” Main concepts are summarized and then detailed in concrete bullet points at the chapter’s end. Each chapter provides a distinctive blend of advice, templates, examples, exercises, and humorous commentary. The book shows that writing is a process, demonstrating in clear steps how to arrive at the kind of complex writing that professors are looking for. Writing on Fire shows students what to do and how to do it, while making an argument for humanistic college writing as a vital form of self-expression.
