{"product_id":"9789042010352","title":"In the Mind's Eye : The Visual Impulse in Diderot, Baudelaire and Ruskin (Faux Titre)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis comparative, interdisciplinary study investigates the relationship between literature and the visual arts in France and Britain from 1750-1900. Through a close examination of the prose writings of Diderot, Baudelaire and Ruskin, read against the background of contemporary philosophy, aesthetics and theories of language, In the Mind's Eye proposes a new interpretation of the influence and rivalries underlying the development of art criticism as a genre during this period. The visual impulse - the desire to transcend the limitations of language and make the reader see - is located within the historical traditions of ekphrasis, enargeia and the paragone, while in each chapter, the individual author's theories of the mind, memory and imagination provide a critical framework for his stylistic experiments. In the Mind's Eye presents an in-depth analysis of the cultural, theoretical and aesthetic implications of artistic border crossings, and by contextualizing the movement toward visual\/verbal hybridity in the fiction and criticism of Diderot, Baudelaire and Ruskin, brings new perspectives to nineteenth-century studies in art and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editions Rodopi B.V.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763829256427,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":272.84,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9789042010352-1.jpg?v=1781766156","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9789042010352","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
