About this book
"A highly original and gripping account of the works of Eakins and Crane. That remarkable combination of close reading and close viewing which Fried uniquely commands is brought to bear on the problematic nature of the making of images of texts and of the self in nineteenth-century America."Svetlana Alpers University of California Berkeley "An extraordinary achievement of scholarship and critical analysis. It is a book distinguished not only for its brilliance but for its courage its grace and wit its readiness to test its arguments in tough-minded ways and its capacity to meet the challenge superbly. . . . This is a landmark in American cultural and intellectual studies."Sacvan Bercovitch Harvard University
