Technologies of the Picturesque: British Art, Poetry, and Instruments, 1750-1830A study of how art and technology mutually align their representations of nature in order to transform land into intelligible landscapes. It argues that technology and interior experience of the poetic subject overlap in their means and methods of removing the viewer from nature, while presenting the land as a comprehensible object. |
