Reviews
...an exciting exploration of the symbiosis between human vision, the material visual, and the visionary in Boston in the three decades before the Civil War. - The Journal of American History City of Second Sight adds to our understanding of the rise of urban culture in New England's premier city during the antebellum era. - Journal of the Early Republic City of Second Sight is deeply researched, tightly argued, expertly composed. Its premise that a wariness about visual culture resulted in visionary culture is significant not only for the study of visual culture but also for American religious and intellectual history. --Reviews in American History A rounded and absorbing account . . . sweeping in its aim and thoroughly convincing. --Journal of Social History A well-researched and imaginatively conceived history. . . . Clark makes a particularly significant contribution to the history of urban spectatorship in his exploration and articulation of the ways that individuals interpreted, valued, and designed visual experiences in Boston. --The New England Quarterly Review
