In The Camera and the Press, Marcy J. Dinius examines how the first written and published responses to the daguerreotype set the terms for how we now understand the representational accuracy and objectivity associated with the photograph, as well as the democratization of portraiture that photography enabled. Dinius's archival research ranges from essays in popular nineteenth-century periodicals to daguerreotypes of Americans, Liberians, slaves, and even fictional characters. Examples of these portraits are among the dozens of illustrations featured in the book. The Camera and the Press presents new dimensions of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables, Herman Melville's Pierre, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Frederick Douglass's The Heroic Slave. Dinius shows how these authors strategically incorporated aspects of daguerreian representation to advance their aesthetic, political, and social agendas. By recognizing print and visual culture as one, Dinius redefines such terms as art, objectivity, sympathy, representation, race, and nationalism and their interrelations in nineteenth-century America. 410 0$aMaterial texts. 606 $aPhotography in literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature and photography$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAmerican fiction$y19th century$xIllustrations$xPublic opinion 606 $aDaguerreotype$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aDocumentary photography$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aVisual communication$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aPhotography. 615 0$aPhotography in literature$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and photography$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xIllustrations$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aDaguerreotype$xHistory 615 0$aDocumentary photography$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aVisual communication$xHistory 615 0$aPublic opinion$xHistory 676 $a810.9/357 700 $aDinius$b Marcy J$01567812 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788380703321 996 $aThe camera and the press$93839523 997 $aUNINA
