Beautiful Deceptions: European Aesthetics, the Early American Novel, and Illusionist Art
Philipp Schweighauser
The art of the early US republic abounds in representations of deception. Yet, as Philipp Schweighauser points out in Beautiful Deceptions, deception happens not only within these novels but also through them. Scheighauser examines how artists of the era at times acknowledge art's dues to other social realms but at other times insist on artists' right to deceive their audiences.
