These beautiful and mysterious images provoke enriching dialogues which inform us about ourselves as much as about the nature of any personage depicted or, indeed about the quality and capacity of any image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eStern childhood stricture instructs us not to stare at strangers. In his fascinating new book, Keith Steiner releases you from those long ago remonstrances and licenses you to roam at will over the photographed faces of personages of the Victorian and Edwardian periods. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author makes no distinction between those born high or low, so we can, at will and at leisure, engage in depth with prisoners, with spies, with persons of elegance and with persons of ill repute. The author introduces you to Jane Brown, a Victorian prisoner in Perth General Prison, Scotland, and to John Brown, radical abolitionist of antebellum America, the youthful, nascent poet Emily Dickinson, and to Jennie Hodgers, one of several hundred women estimated to have fought in disguise alongside their male soldier comrades during the American Civil War. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeith Steiner is a well-practised author and commentator on the theory and philosophy of photography and historic photography. His text encounters his subjects in both widescreen and in intimate dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55542443377014,"sku":"9781836282754","price":15.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_34007845.jpg?v=1746075557","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781836282754-between-ourselves","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
