"Acting the Part is the first major history of staged photography. Analysing many key works, from Hippolyte Bayard's 1840 self-depiction as a suicide by drowning to Man Ray's 1923 portrait of Marcel Duchamp posing as his alter ego, Rrose Selavy, Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills of the 1970s, and Yinka Shonibare's 1998 Diary of a Victorian Dandy, it traces the genre from its mid-nineteenth-century origins to the present day." "Illustrated throughout with works ranging from the earliest salted paper prints and daguerreotypes to today's digitally manipulated images, Acting the Part is an authoritative survey of this enduring and highly creative branch of photography. It makes an argument for the importance of the staged photograph within the history of the medium and demonstrates its intrinsic artistic value."--BOOK JACKET.

Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), the Portuguese poet, literary critic, and essayist, is one of the most significant literary figures of the twentieth century. He wrote not only under his own name but under over a hundred others (including Alexander Search, Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, and Bernardo Soares). For her translations of Spanish and Portuguese, Margaret Jull Costa has won the Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize four times as well as the Premio Valle-Inclán, the International Dublin Literary Award, and the 2008 PEN Prize for best translation from any language for The Maias, by Eça de Queirós (New Directions, 2007).
