Seller's Description:
VG: A book in excellent condition. Previous ownership mark on the front free end page. Tight binding and neat pages. Looks like it was rarely taken from the shelf. This is a teal casebound hardcover book with the title in gilt down the spine. There is gray dust jacket featuring a color pictorial illustration, and the text is printed on the front cover and down the spine in white. Pages: (8), ix-xvi, (1), 1-188, (8), 189-331. There are two maps and 112 illustrations throughout the book, including 8 full-color plates. In this fascinating study, Beth McKinsey has chronicled the changing image of Niagara Falls, analysing the shifts in sensibility that produced different responses to the great cataract from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. She examines the evolving role of the Falls as the very meaning of the sublime moved away from its roots in eighteenth-century English aesthetics: from a natural, to a moral, to a technological basis. At the same time, the author describes the growing commercial trade.
