Editorial Reviews

This volume presents landscape images by 12 women photographers who have adopted a range of strategies from the use of non-silver emulsion and pinhole cameras through the development of traditional large format techniques to the manipulation of new digital technologies. In addition, essays by various writers provide historical and geographical context; and the introduction and final essay by one of the editors, Liz Wells (U. of Plymouth), draws on interviews with the artists to explore the unique contributions women have made, purposes and contexts, and research processes. Other editors include Kate Newton (curator and editor) and Catherine Fehily (Staffordshire U.). Oversize: 11.75x9.25<">. Distributed by Palgrave. Annotation c.
