'Finally, a profoundly aesthetic reading of photography's most ravishing and demanding femme-enfant. Anyone beguiled by Francesca Woodman will be grateful to Claire Raymond for this strikingly intelligent, haunting tribute to Woodman's uncanny and troubling art.' Maria DiBattista, Princeton University, USA 'While there has been a steady accumulation of critical responses to Woodman's work since the 1980s, Claire Raymond's Francesca Woodman and the Kantian Sublime is the first book length work which attends to the complexity of Woodman's project with the nuance and careful attention that the photographs deserve... [this] is a book that should be valued for opening up possibilities in how we think about Woodman's work, but also for how we think about selfportraiture, gender, the Kantian sublime and about photography itself.'
