With a dazzling range of reference, Monica Cure demonstrates the remarkable cultural and literary power of the postcard and rewrites our contemporary narratives of new media. —Kate Marshall, author of Corridor: Media Architectures in American Fiction Picturing the Postcard turns our attention to a small yet vital piece of nineteenth-century new media. Tracking the postcard’s outsized effects, in everything from touristic travel to the rise of feminism, Monica Cure illuminates an often-overlooked item whose cult popularity reveals much about modern life and culture in turn-of-the-century America and Britain. —Rachel Teukolsky, author of Picture World: Image, Aesthetics, and Victorian New Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605daf0f6239dd4b458887d1/399ecacb-f99e-49c3-8e91-63070a4ec8c1/Cover+Reprezentari+ale+cartii+postale.jpeg Non-fiction - Also available in a new Romanian translation by Dana Badulescu.
