Theodore Gericault, Painting Black Bodies

Theodore Gericault, Painting Black Bodies

Albert Alhadeff

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

nidottu
This book examines Théodore Géricault’s images of black men, women and children who suffered slavery’s trans-Atlantic passage in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, including his 1819 painting The Raft of the Medusa. The book focuses on Géricault’s depiction of black people, his approach towards slavery, and the voices that advanced or denigrated them. By turning to documents, essays and critiques, both before and after Waterloo (1815), and, most importantly, Géricault’s own oeuvre, this study explores the fetters of slavery that Gericault challenged—alongside a growing number of abolitionists—overtly or covertly. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, race and ethnic studies and students of modernism.

Theodore Dreiser and the Cultures of Travel

Theodore Dreiser and the Cultures of Travel

Theodore Dreiser and the Cultures of Travel examines Dreiser’s three published travel narratives, A Traveler at Forty (1913), A Hoosier Holiday (1916), and Dreiser Looks at Russia (1928), along with his 1916–26 travel diaries for trips to Georgia, New Jersey, California, and Florida, and his impressions of his early days as a journalist in New York, captured in Newspaper Days (1922, 1931) and early essays collected in The Color of a Great City (1923). This book is the first sustained analysis of travel narratives from one of the most important US writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Dreiser’s fiction is often read in relation to the themes of literary naturalism for which he is best known—such as labor, class struggle, consumer culture, and sexuality—and these travel narratives address these themes while drawing our attention to additional issues informing his work, such as tourist culture, immigration, visual culture, and concerns about US progress. The book not only enhances scholars’ understanding of Dreiser’s narrative style but also provides new insights into how his perspective on American culture at the turn of the twentieth century was informed by his travel experiences and mobility.
