Literature and Visual Technologies

This collection of essays addresses the impact of visual technologies on the production of literature in the 20th century. It investigates the manifold effects which a visual century has wrought upon literary conventions. From the influence of Mutoscope parlours on Joyce's fiction, to the interrelation between Peter Greenaway's "A TV Dante", the collection consists of an integrated series of high level intellectual engagements with 100 years of cultural revolution and covers the whole 20th century, from silent to digital film.
