Reviews

'Gephardt's range of consideration is impressive: she moves smoothly from fiction to newspaper accounts to published travel diaries and journals to analysis of etchings that underscore her discussion of shifting images and the development of photography at the century's end. That range is what makes the book so fascinating; it serves as eminently readable literary analysis but is contextualized so broadly as to develop its considerations into and upon many other fields.' European Romantic Review
