From James Agee to W. G. Sebald; there has been an explosion of modern documentary narratives and fiction combining text and photography in complex and fascinating ways. However; these contemporary experiments are part of a tradition that stretches back to the early years of photography. Writers have been integrating photographs into their work for as long as photographs have existed; producing rich; multilayered creations; and photographers have always made images that incorporate; respond to; or function as writing. On Writing with Photography explores what happens to textsmdash;and imagesmdash;when they are brought together.From the mid-nineteenth century to the present; this collection addresses a wide range of genres and media; including graphic novels; childrenrsquo;s books; photo-essays; films; diaries; newspapers; and art installations. Examining the works of Herman Melville; Don DeLillo; Claude McKay; Man Ray; Dare Wright; Guy Debord; Zhang Ailing; and Roland Barthes; among others; the essays trace the relationship between photographs and ldquo;realityrdquo; and describe the imaginary worlds constructed by both; discussing how this production can turn into testimony of personal and collective history; memory and trauma; gender and sexuality; and ethnicity.Together; these essays help explain how writers and photographersmdash;past and presentmdash;have served as powerful creative resources for each other.Contributors: Stuart Burrows; Brown U; Roderick Coover; Temple U; Adrian Daub; Stanford U; Marcy J.

At one time; i took piano lessons and used this book. After me; two of my kids used it and by the time my third child got to it; it was looking tattered and used. I bought this to replace the old issue. The pieces are timeless classics.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.
