The Art of Literature, Art in Literature cover

These twelve essays examine the exchange between literature and the visual arts (mainly painting), which, since the turn of the nineteenth century, has gained prominence in literary criticism. Reading modern and postmodern texts, the authors consider literary works next to the artworks the poets and writers invoke. Such instances of artistic synthesis highlight evolving perspectives on art and literature and the expressive possibilities offered by the simultaneity of words and images.

The authors' selection of themes and titles comprehensively represents contemporary research on the intersections among literary studies and other disciplines. A valuable resource for scholars and general readers thanks to its diversity and the relevance of the problems it discusses. -- Miroslawa Buchholtz, Mikolaj Kopernik University, Torun
