Today’s class was a more in-depth analysis of Victorian illustration books which I enjoyed greatly. What was most captivating to me was the theoretical concepts we discussed in lecture. I often enjoy learning about such content because they allow me to bring my interpretation of the relationship between image/text to scholarly appropriate writing. In fact, this is something I often struggle with when analyzing text. As Professor Kooistra mentioned, although we have a visual vocabulary in which we use to understand illustrations, that vocabulary, at least for me, is very limited.
