Dear all,
Romantic Circles is pleased to announce a new volume in its Praxis Series,
Gothic Technologies: Visuality in the Romantic Era.
Edited and introduced by Robert Miles, with essays by Fred Botting, Diane
Long Hoeveler, Sophie Thomas, Dale Townshend, and Angela Wright, the volume
explores the relationship between Romantic Gothicism and the rise of visual
technologies centered on the commercial exploitation of the magic lantern.
Topics include Gothic Romance as visual technology; the uncanny
replications of mind and machine; the Gothic subject matter of Victorian
Dioramas; the interrelationship between Victorian stage technology and the
novel; Wordsworth’s turn from the visual to the acoustic; and Romantic
hostility to Gothic "mechanism."

Best,
Neil Fraistat
