Reviews

Kindig's book makes an important contribution to literary and cultural studies through its capacious narrative of how US literature and media historically grappled with attention as not simply an epistemological or political problem but a problem of social embodiment. --Erica Fretwell, author of Sensory Experiments: Psychophysics, Race, and the Aesthetics of Feeling This is historicist cultural criticism at its sharpest and will appeal to anyone interested in modernity, secularism, affect theory, or the complicated relations between race and aesthetic performance. --Nicholas Gaskill, author of Chromographia: American Literature and the Modernization of Color
