Sous la direction de Nancy Pedri et Laurence Petit

Picturing the Language of Images is a collection of thirty-three previously unpublished essays that explore the complex and ever-evolving interaction between the verbal and the visual. The uniqueness of this volume lies in its bringing together scholars from around the world to provide a broad synchronic and diachronic exploration of the relationship between text and image, as well as a reflection on the limits of representation through a re-thinking of the very acts of reading and viewing. While covering a variety of media—such as literature, painting, photography, film and comics—across time—from the 18th century to the 21st century—this collection also provides a special focus on the work of particular authors, such as A. S. Byatt, W. G. Sebald, and Art Spiegelman.

Nancy Pedri is Associate Professor of English at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. Her major fields of research include word-and-image relations in contemporary literature, photography in fiction and comics studies. She has co-edited several volumes on word-and-image studies.

Laurence Petit is Associate Professor of English at Université Paul Valéry-Montpellier 3, France. She has published many articles on the relationship between literature and the visual arts in contemporary British and American fiction. She is co-editor of several volumes on text and image.
