An error analysis of journal papers written by Persian authors
This research was conducted to pinpoint common errors in Iranian authors’ writings, which was done by extracting the errors in the writings of 40 scientific articles written by students, which were edited by an editing team at Sharif University of Technology, Languages and Linguistics Center. As a result of this investigation, eight types of errors were extracted as the following: errors in word usage, articles, preposition, conjunction, tense, e…
Phonographic Books and the Late Nineteenth-Century Reader
While assimilating the writing on phonographic books produced in the immediate wake of Edison's essays into the history of 'audiobooks' is an important project, one currently being undertaken by Matthew Rubery, this essay is more concerned with tracing continuities between these various responses and mid- to late-nineteenth-century theories of reading that attended to its physiological and technological dimensions. As these responses indicate, th…
Moving Images
This book examines how the productive interplay between nineteenth-century literary and visual media paralleled the emergence of a modern psychological understanding of the ways in which reading, viewing and dreaming generate moving images in the mind. Reading between these parallel histories of mind and media reveals a dynamic conceptual, aesthetic and technological engagement with the moving image that, in turn, produces a new understanding of …

Natural Magic and the Technologies of Reading
Beginning with the multiple technological and metaphoric circulations of the kaleidoscope and culminating with the interplay between Walter Scott’s Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft (1830) and Brewster’s Letters on Natural Magic, this chapter explores the ways in which Brewster’s inventions materialised a newly modern sense of visual and temporal contingency that entered into the collective descriptive rhetoric of writers, ranging from Byron t…
Projections of Alice
Anachronism is a particularly useful conceptual mechanism for unpacking the ways in which the work of a writer such as Carroll exemplifies the paradoxical temporality of representation at a transformative moment in media history. Retracing the late nineteenth-century circulatory networks in which images of Carroll's Alice moved from illustrated printed book, through the extractive distortions of a voracious reviewing system encompassing periodica…
Introduction
The Soundscapes of Henry Mayhew Urban Ethnography and Technologies of Transcription
Contemporary reviewers of London Labour and the London Poor were quick to label as inauthentic both the engraved re-mediations of John Beard's daguerreotype portraits and Henry Mayhew's transcription of the voices of London's street habitués. Mayhew's literal mediations of patter, slang and speech rhythms were the subject of particular scrutiny. As one critic acerbically observed: 'The photographs no doubt are accurate enough, but those dialogues…
Domestic Phantasmagoria
In the first section of her Autobiography, Harriet Martineau recollects the first eight years of her life as a series of traumatic events in which illusion and reality merge. One event is prompted by an encounter with a domestic magic lantern. In its dismantled state, the lantern holds no mysteries for her. She recalls seeing it cleaned by daylight, handling all its parts, and "understanding its whole structure." It was a different story at night…
Reading Victorian Illusions
This article examines John Henry spectacularly successful 1862 adaptation of Charles Dickens's Christmas tale, The Haunted Man and The Ghost's Bargain, at the Royal Polytechnic Institution in London. Beginning with an analysis of the ways in which Dickens's tale encourages readers to interrogate the epistemological bases of memory and perception, I track translation of the text into a popular theatrical event designed to exploit the recollective …
"Kaleidoscopic Vision and Literary Invention in an "Age of Things
David Brewster's Kaleidoscope caused a sensation in early nineteenth-century London and introduced a new and potent visual metaphor which still animates modern parlance. Yet the kaleidoscope's considerable cultural impact has received scant critical attention, partly because it lacks the uncanny proto-cinematic verisimilitude of the diorama, the panorama, or the stereoscope. This article reconstructs this overlooked reception history, moving back…

Technological Mediations and the Public Sphere

Undertaken with the patronage of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and the Duke of Newcastle, the then Secretary of State for War, Fenton’s photographic record was intended to inform the Victorian public of the “true” condition of the soldiers in what was fast becomin…
