Visualisation in Popular Fiction 1860-1960

explores the important but neglected tradition of illustrated fiction in English. It suggests new analytical approaches for its study by offering detailed discussions of a range of representative texts, including Mary Webb's Gone to Earth and Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca.

Among the issues and genres Sillars explores are:

Victorian narrative paintings

Edwardian fictional magazines

comic strips

illustrated children's stories

the translation of novels into film

An insightful and highly informative work, Visualisation in Popular Fiction will be of value to students of literature, cultural studies, visual art and film.
