The notes, records, sketches, and photographs brought together in the archive are of the utmost importance to historians of nineteenth-century society and culture and, as we now also appreciate, to historians of photography. - Victorian Studies `The Extraordinary Archive of Arthur J. Munby: Photographing Class and Gender in the Nineteenth Century explores a neglected aspect of photographic history -its development as a popular medium. Sarah Edge offers a close reading of Arthur Munby's substantial collection of photographs of working women and gives a thoughtful commentary on the diaries in which he discussed his project, probing the complexity of his cross-class encounters. Featuring many detailed examples, this highly original book explores the nature of photography itself, while conveying a vivid account of the working women in the nineteenth century. It is notable for the unprecedented detail of its research and the subtle and nuanced discussion of the relation between photography and cultural attitudes at a point in history when both were changing. The book offers a fascinating insight into the unstable relationships of gender and social class in mid-nineteenth- century England'. - Patricia Holland, Senior Lecturer, Bournemouth Media School, Bournemouth University Author InformationSarah Edge is Professor of Photography and Cultural Studies at the University of Ulster Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
