Download or read book The Art of Literature, Art in Literature written by Magdalena Bleinert-Coyle. This book was released on 2014. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
