Summary:

Broadly comparative in their interdisciplinary approaches, 13 articles explore the interlinked place of texts and images in modern European culture. They are presented in sections that consider artistic exchanges across cultural traditions, exphrasis (description of visual works) in literature, design in fashion and architecture and its relation to different types of written text, and exchanges between literature and modern multimedia technologies. Also included is a thematic bibliography for the further study of the subject. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
