Books

Julia Margaret Cameron: The Colonial Shadows of Victorian Photography. (London and New Haven: Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and Yale University Press), due May in UK; due June in USA. Advance praise:

‘Beautifully written and grounded in original research, this book places Cameron … at the heart of British debates over the future of Empire and the construction of an ideal nation. A must-read for anyone interested in photography, Victorian studies, and the complex ways that visual culture encodes political and social conditions’.
Anne McCauley, Princeton University, author of Industrial Madness

Providing ‘deep readings of Cameron’s photographs’, Rosen ‘challenges and upends earlier feminized, reductive views that ignored Cameron’s political content and nuances of imperial transculturation’.
Julie Codell, Arizona State University, author of Power and Resistance: The Delhi Coronation Durbars

Rosen reveals Cameron’s photography ‘to be inextricably enmeshed in the self-serving narratives and the globally-extended webs
of power, exploitation, violence, appropriation and resistance that shaped the British Imperial project’.
John Tagg, Binghamton University, author of The Burden of Representation

‘Rosen’s rich documentation of the colonialist thinking that suffused Cameron’s familial and social milieu and the evidence assembled here of the enduring trauma of the Indian Uprising … represent notable contributions to Victorian historiography’.
Christopher Herbert, Northwestern University, author of War of No Pity
