"""In Glancing Visions, Tavlin makes a compelling and relevant argument that is significant for the fields of visual studies and American studies and for author studies of each of the authors the manuscript treats (Hawthorne, Harper, Dickinson, and James). Tavlin urges scholars to attend to and even prioritize studies of the 'glance' within theories of visuality, and this is a perceptive and necessary intervention. The author offers impressive and sophisticated readings of theories of the glance and gaze as well as a range of nineteenth-century authors and texts. It was a joy to find meditations on the glance in texts where I had not seen them, thanks to the close and attentive explications Tavlin provides."" --Shelly Jarenski, author of Immersive Words: Mass Media, Visuality, and American Literature, 1839-1893"
