"Visualisation in English Popular Fiction" explores the important yet often neglected tradition of illustrated fiction in English. Author Stuart Sillars suggests new analytical approached for the study of illustrated fiction by offering detailed discussions of a range of representative texts.
Sillars provides an in-depth account of the growth of the illustrated text in 19th century England, and discusses also some of the implications of Roland Barthes' ideas of narratology as they may be applied to this compound form. Following studies in the book explore a range of issues raised by texts of various kinds, such as the visual sense in popular fiction without illustrations, the use of visual narrative in comic strips, and the precise nature of the relocation which occurs when a novel is translated to film.
The author brings to the subject extensive experience of lecturing and writing on the relations between visual and verbal texts. The intersection between art and literature is of ever increasing interest, and this insightful and cross-disciplinary text is a valuable contribution to the debate.
