Can't find it just now, a book on DeLillo, Pynchon, Poe, Hawthorne,
other Americans, 
and photos and spirits, ghosts and daguerreotype and the like. 


Davidson, Cathy N. “Photographs of the Dead: Sherman, Daguerre,
Hawthorne.”  South Atlantic
Quarterly 89 (1990): 567-701. 

Using the photography of Cindy Sherman as a frame which, although
interesting, does not seem entirely necessary to her central argument,
Davidson examines the early history of photography and its role in
Hawthorne’s The House of Seven Gables, making a number of unexpected but
fascinating connections along the way.
