A stylish critique of literary attitudes towards painting; TextualVision explores the simultaneous rhetorical formation and empirical fragmentation of visual reading in enlightenment Britain. Beginning with an engaging treatment of Popes Rape of the Lock; Timothy Erwin takes the reader on a guided tour of the pointed allusion; apt illustration; or the subtle appeal to the minds eye within a wide array of genres and texts; before bringing his linked case studies to a surprising close with the fiction of Jane Austen. At once carefully researched; theoretically informed and highly imaginative; Textual Vision situates textual vision at the cultural crossroads of ancient pictura-poesis doctrine and modernist aesthetics. It provides reliable interpretive poles for reading enlightenment imagery; offers vivid new readings of familiar works; and promises to invigorate the study of Restoration and eighteenth-century visual culture.

Although it may seem a little overpriced considering it is a short book; its something you wont even consider upon finishing it. Footnotes work great with the most recent Kindle Paperwhite software update.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. GET ITBy Jesus Gerardo Contreras FloresI got the Kindle version which is flawless. A great read. Groszs attempt to define art is heroic. If you truly care about what you see; what; you listen to; what you feel; what you smell; what you taste. I mean; if you really care. Get it. But I do recommend the Kindle version.

Ian TurnbullBy OilsAn outstanding foundational text; providing a wealth of entry points into feminist philosophy interlaced through art theory and the underpinning rituals necessary for the enrichment of sustainable communities of practice. Art and music are at the core of our very being and I feel that this short; however worhty resource lightens the journey in many ways.
