Text and Image in Modern European Culture, Paperback / softback Book

Text and Image in Modern European Culture Paperback / softback

Edited by Natasha Grigorian, Thomas Baldwin, Margaret Rigaud-Drayton

Part of the Comparative Cultural Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

Text and Image in Modern European Culture is a collection of essays that are transnational and interdisciplinary in scope.

Employing a range of innovative comparative approaches to reassess and undermine traditional boundaries between art forms and national cultures, the contributors shed new light on the relations between literature and the visual arts in Europe after 1850.

Following tenets of comparative cultural studies, work presented in this volume explores international creative dialogues between writers and visual artists, ekphrasis in literature, literature and design (fashion, architecture), hybrid texts (visual poetry, surrealist pocket museums, poetic photo-texts), and text and image relations under the impact of modern technologies (avant-garde experiments, digital poetry).

The discussion encompasses pivotal fin de siècle, modernist, and postmodernist works and movements in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, and Spain.

A selected bibliography of work published in the field is also included.

The volume will appeal to scholars of comparative literature, art history, and visual studies, and includes contributions appropriate for supplementary reading in senior undergraduate and graduate seminars.
