Irving’s Medium
Christopher J. Lukasik, Purdue University
Professor Lukasik’s paper comes from his new book project entitled The Image in the Text: Intermediality, Illustration, and Nineteenth-Century American Literature. His paper will use the intermedial references found within and the subsequent media combinations generated by Washington Irving’s The Sketch Book (1819-20) as the occasion to discuss the role of images in literary history and the role of literature in the rise of mass optical media such as illustration.
