- Synopsis
- In order to examine the crucial role of the illustrated press in the formation of the reading public and the writing profession during the lifetime of James (1843-1916), Tucker (American literature, City U. of New York-Queens College) rereads a significant portion of his work in light of the explosive growth of the magazine industry in the US and abroad during the period, showing how the rise of the pictorial challenged the primacy of the written text. Her topics include the rise of the illustrated magazine; double discourse in the illustrated tales of the 1890s; his Holbein stepping out of the frame; essays on illustration; and James, Joseph Pennell, and the art of the travelogue.
