Publisher Synopsis
"This is a work of seminal importance in educating scholars on how to perceive art in any medium precisely because Heninger provides a successful methodology for understanding what lies behind the apparent content of texts and images. The book is highly original in advancing new theories, analyzing specific art works as well as synthesizing the gamut of conventional and avant-garde wisdom. One has the sense of having finally understood what texts and visual arts have in common, even and especially across geographical boundaries (Italy and England)."-Charles H. Carman, State University of New York, Buffalo "Neither the politically correct, nor the theoretical avant-garde, nor the conservative opposition to any and all theory will fully endorse this book, but all of these groups are likely to be influenced by its candor and solid scholarship. This book deserves to be widely read because it advances the theoretical discussion of how we view and should view history and hermeneutics."-Jean R. Brink, Arizona State University Read more...
