Among the issues and genres Sillars explores are:
* Victorian `narrative” paintings
* Edwardian fictional magazines
* comic strips
* illustrated children”s stories
* the translation of novels into film
An insightful and highly informative work, Visualisation in Popular Fiction will be of value to students of literature, cultural studies, visual art and film.
