Empire of Ruins: American Culture, Photography, and the Spectacle of Destruction
Orvell, Miles (Professor of English and American Studies, Professor of English and American Studies, Temple University)
Americans have been fascinated by ruins as symbols of the past and now as symbols of the future. Empire of Ruins tells the story of what ruins have meant to Americans and how their representation in photography--often both beautiful and terrifying--has shaped their meaning.
