In and out of sight : modernist writing and the photographic unseen

Alix Beeston (Author)
"Building on work in visual culture studies that emphasizes the interplay between still and moving images, In and Out of Sight provides a new account of the relationship between photography and modernist writing--revealing the conceptual space of literary modernism to be radically constructed around the instability of female bodies"-- Provided by publisher
