Mediating American
Autobiography
Photography in
Emerson, Thoreau,
Douglass, and Whitman
Sean Ross
Methan
* he emergence of photography in the mid-
X nineteenth century transformed ideas about
how the self and nature could be pictured. Al¬
though the autobiographical potential of photog¬
raphy seems self-evident today, Sean Meehan
takes us back to the birth of the medium when
some of America s preeminent authors began to
think about photography s implications for the
representation of identity and the nature of autobi¬
ographical writing.
Both photography and autobiography involve a
tension between disclosing and concealing their
means of production: a chemical process for one,
the writing process for the other. Meehan exam¬
ines how four major authors
—
Ralph Waldo Emer¬
son, Henry David Thoreau, Frederick Douglass,
and Walt Whitman
—
were well aware of this ten¬
sion and explored it in their work. By examining
the implications of early photography in their
writings, he shows how each engaged the new
visual medium, how photography mediated their
conceptions of self-representation, and how their
appropriation of photographic thinking created a
new kind of autobiography.
Examining the metonymk nature of photography,
Meehan explores how the new medium influenced
conceptions of visual and verbal representation.
He intertwines these four writers reflections on
photography
—
in Emerson s Representative Men,
Thoreau s journals, Douglass s narratives of slav¬
ery, and Whitman s Specimen Days
—
with theories
of photography as expounded by its inventors and
observers, from Louis Daguerre and William
Talbot
in Europe to Oliver Wendell
Hohnes
and Marcus
Root in America.
As the first book to focus on the emergence of this
new visual medium during the American Renais¬
sance, Mediating American Autobiography shows
us what photography means for American litera¬
ture in general and for the genre most closely linked
to it in particular. Because the engagement of these
writers with photography has been neglected in
previous scholarship, Meehan s work provocatively
bridges the study of two media and illuminates an
important aspect of American thought and culture
at the dawn of the technological era.
