The Virtues of the Vicious : Jacob Riis, Stephen Crane and the Spectacle of the Slum.

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

In this study, the author demonstrates how, in the last decade of the 19th century, the slum became a source of spectacle as never before - in newspapers, photographs and literature. With close readings of texts by Crane and Riis, he argues that this amounted to a revolution of ethics.
