Napoleon Sarony’s living pictures: Photography, performance & American art, 1865-1900
Pauwels, Erin Kristl, «Napoleon Sarony’s living pictures: Photography, performance & American art, 1865-1900». Ph.D., Indiana University, Ann Arbor, United States 2015 Abstract This dissertation investigates the complex artistic legacy of Napoleon Sarony, a pioneering figure in American photography. Based in Manhattan from 1866 until his death in 1896, Sarony was the most celebrated photographic portraitist of his era, known best for adapting the drama and fantasy of Gilded Age theatre to his construction of public images.

Rachel, the circulation of the image, and the death of tragedy
Bethel, Marnie Elizabeth, Rachel, the circulation of the image, and the death of tragedy, University of Texas, [Austin, Tex. : 2012 Abstract Although it is frequently suggested that the idea of celebrity, as opposed to fame, is a construct of twentieth-century popular culture, many of the originating mechanisms and characteristics of modern celebrity have their roots in the more distant past. In France, the Industrial Revolution and the resulting mechanization of the media in the early to mid-nineteenth century fostered the processes of publicity.

Foulkes, Richard, Lewis Carroll and the Victorian Stage : Theatricals in a Quiet Life, Routledge, 2017 Abstract Author of the enduringly popular Alice books, mathematician, Anglican cleric, and pioneer photographer, Lewis Carroll maintained a lifelong enthusiasm for the theatre. Lewis Carroll and the Victorian Stage is the first book to focus on Carroll’s irresistible fascination with all things theatrical, from childhood charades and marionettes to active involvement in the dramatisation of Alice, influential contributions to the debate on child actors, and the friendship of leading players, especially Ellen Terry. As well as being a key to his complex and enigmatic personality, Carroll’s interest in the theatre provides a vivid account…
