      abstract = {This book is an interdisciplinary study of the engagement  with and representation of the face across literature,  photography, and theatre. It looks at how the face is an  active agent, closely connected with the history of the  media and the social interactions reflected in media  images. Focusing on the dynamic period of the interwar  years, it explores a range of case studies in Poland, UK,  and the US, and examines artists like Stanisław Ignacy  Witkiewicz (Witkacy), Virginia Woolf, Debora Vogel, Sir  Cecil Beaton, Theodore Władysław Benda, and Edward Gordon  Craig. Teresa Bruś argues that these writers and  photographers defended the face against threats from modern  life -- not least, the media. She focuses on  transformations of the face in life writing across a range  of media and draws attention to the artists'  autobiographical narratives. Teresa Bruś is Associate  Professor in the Institute of English Studies at Wrocław  University, Poland. She has published on various aspects of  life writing and photography in journals, including  Biography, European Journal of Life Writing, Prose Studies,  and Connotations. She is the author of Life Writing as  Self-Collecting in the 1930s: Cecil Day Lewis and Louis  MacNeice (2012).},
