Landscape and Vision in Nineteenth-Century Britain and France

Concentrating on Britain and France, the book addresses its subject in an interdisciplinary fashion, drawing on poetry, novels, landscape gardens, spectacular entertainments, and science as well as visual art in order to elucidate panoramic art, and questions of spectral or ghostly visions. These topics set in play the themes of the subjective, and the scientific/imperial that are further developed throughout the book.
