BECOMING

THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF CLEMENTINA, VISCOUNTESS HAWARDEN

(Duke UP, 1999)

“Mavor…is smart on the topic of teendom (just one of the ‘becomings’ of her title)”
—The Village Voice

“To those accustomed to the detached tone of the academic monograph, Carol Mavor’s stance in Becoming will seem daring. From the effusive acknowledgments onwards, the author thrusts herself to the front, so that her particular appreciation of what she studies becomes both subject and critical method”
—The Times Literary Supplement
