Description

Reflecting at the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, this notable book brings together a range of media and perspectives that show how the conflict has been recorded and remembered over the years. Fifteen essays written by leading scholars in quite a lot of disciplines explore visual representations of the war and its remembrance from the mid-19th century to the current.
 
The text is organized in four sections at the themes of home, the battlefield, public space, and heroism.  Within these, famous images such as Antietam battlefield photography are presented in a new light, and discussions of lesser-known works—starting from newspaper illustrations to stained glass windows to public sculpture—underscore their recent relevance to the war’s such a lot problematic legacies. Four of the essays center of attention on one of the crucial central commemorations of the war, Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s memorial to Robert Gould Shaw in Boston, and its more than one meanings and interpretations.
