Opis

What was the role of images in the western tradition? And what was their relationship with the printed work? This wide-ranging collection of essays offers a critical review of how the Western tradition set out to compare visual arts and texts, encompassing thirteenth-century Spanish miniatures, Italian Renaissance painting and book illustrations, the explosion of inter-arts comparisons in the works of such diverse writers as Blake, Mallerme and D'Annunzio, and the modern debate on the visual arts. 256p, 21 illus."
