Opis

Exploring various ways in which a range of twentieth-century European artists and writers challenged the boundary between visual and linguistic expression in the content, production and physical form of books, these essays challenge the roles played by visual and bodily sensation in recent histories of literary modernism. The collection argues that examples of the art book tradition both test and celebrate vision, while contextualizing it among other sensory experiences.
