The nude photograph generated its own discourse, its own anxieties about society, obscenity, and art. No account of attitudes toward sexuality, the rights of women, the history of censorship, or the history of art in the nineteenth century can be complete without accounting for these photographs. This book necessarily involves the visual analysis of the photographs themselves and their unique patterns of representation. Its focus, however, will not be on the images as much as the narrative about nude photography that emerges out of its inscription-whether through allusion or ekphrasis-into a wide range of nineteenth-century texts, including newspapers, magazines, government records, and fiction and nonfiction books. As it turns out, nude photographs exerted a particularly marked influence on contemporary literary production. In the works of the authors in this study, the photographic nude stands at the nexus of concerns about changing modes of artistic representation, about the limits of art and obscenity and the government's role in setting those limits, and about modern industrial capitalism's effect on both art production on the one hand and sexual mores on the other. Although they worked in text rather than image, these authors felt the shock of this novel way of representing the body. The nude photograph provides a new set of terms by which to reconsider some of the century's most well-known literary figures, including Charles Baudelaire, EÌmile Zola, and the Goncourt brothers"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $g Chapter 8 . $t Conclusion. $g Chapter 1 . $t Art, obscenity, and censorship : 1839-1870 -- $g Chapter 2 . $t The judgment of Phryne, or, the model's meaning -- $g Chapter 3 . $t Baudelaire's bodies -- $g Chapter 4 . $t Manette Salomon and anti- modernity -- $g Part II. $t The Third Republic -- $g Chapter 5 . $t The rise of an international industry : 1870-1900 -- $g Chapter 6 . $t The dangerous streets -- $g Chapter 7 . $t Nana in the nude -- $g Chapter 8 . $t Maizeroy and the feminist photo-novel -- $t Conclusion. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Literature and photography $z France $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a French literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Photography of the nude $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Photography $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Nude in art $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a French literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934688 650 7 $a Literature and photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000089 650 7 $a Nude in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01041139 650 7 $a Photography of the nude. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061951 650 7 $a Photography $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061826 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Material texts. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020615.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05E534EA5F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
