Sensation, Spectacle and Spiritualism; Afterword; Notes; Works Cited; IndexThis book explores the role of vision and the culture of observation in Victorian and modernist ways of seeing. Willis charts the characterization of vision through four organizing principles - small, large, past and future - to survey Victorian conceptions of what vision was. He then explores how this Victorian vision influenced twentieth-century ways of seeing, when anxieties over visual 'truth' became entwined with modernist rejections of objectivity.Science and culture in the nineteenth century ;no. 15.Vision, Science & Literature, 1870-1920VisionHistory19th centuryVisionSocial aspectsHistory19th centuryVisionPhilosophyHistory19th centuryLiterature and scienceHistory19th centuryVisionHistoryVisionSocial aspectsHistoryVisionPhilosophyHistoryLiterature and scienceHistory612.8409034Willis Martin1971-1163524UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910807673003321Vision, science, and literature, 1870-19204067536UNINA
