| Research Abstract |
American authors in the 19th century take advantage of the manifold features of photography: both the science itself and as a metaphor in their literary works. Its diverse characteristics such as fantasy, reproduction, realism, representation, mass-duplication, closely link it with the following literary forms: romance, realism, detective and war novels in the 19th century. Photography functions not only as the technology to reproduce a subject, but as a significant factor to symbolize and develop each genre of literature.
