I loved this course - Robert Campbell is expert at conveying not only the knowledge of the material but also his passion for it.
Robert Campbell was remarkable-a terrific lecturer and generous in sharing so much of his private collection of images.
Robert Campbell is an engaging, thoughtful and deeply knowledgable lecturer who obviously takes pleasure from sharing his knowledge.
But I think Robert Campbell is not well-prepared in this course as a narrator.

but also
Analyses of concrete examples give definite insight into not only the image, written words and background of this image, but also the methodology, or tools with which this kind of analysis is possible.
It not only introduces the traditional Japanese art with its comments but also talks about the photos and postcards.

19th century
Recommended for those interested in studying 19th century Japanese history The course was an interesting introduction to the combining of images with writing - that's why I took it.
Short as it seems, this course have been thoroughly enjoyable, clear and most important, widening horizon and appreciation of visual and literary culture of 19th century Japan.
professor campbell
Professor Campbell has made this complicated subject into a very understandable, easy-to-follow course.
Partly this is because Professor Campbell is the 'real thing' - an academic who invests himself in his interests.
