A Communion of Shadows: Religion and Photography in Nineteenth-Century America
Rachel McBride Lindsey
When the technology of photography erupted in American culture in 1839, it swiftly became, in the day's parlance, a “mania”. This book positions vernacular photography at the centre of the study of nineteenth-century American religious life. Rachel McBride Lindsey's interpretation of “vernacular” as an analytic introduces a way to consider anew the cultural, social, and material reach of religion.
