Book description
The volume consists of twelve essays centred around the idea of dialogic exchange between literature and visual arts (mainly painting), which since the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries has been steadily growing into prominence among literary explorations. Through their readings of modern and post-modern texts, the authors attempt to approach selected literary works in the context of the works of art invoked by poets and writers through the medium of language. Such instances of artistic synthesis, whether realised as traditional ekphrasis and commentary or through the complexities of intersemiotic discourse, bring out the evolving nature of perspectives on art and literature, and point in the directions of expressive possibilities offered by a simultaneity of words and images.
