The Written and the Visual

Know about the book -

The Written and the Visual is written by Małgorzata Łuczyńska-Hołdys and published by V&R Unipress. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3847012533 (ISBN 10) and 9783847012535 (ISBN 13).

The author investigates the points of contact between literature, visual arts and feminist criticism by offering fresh readings of selected Romantic and Victorian poems about women and a discussion of their wide-ranging visual history – a subject which has not yet been undertaken in a book-length study. The innovative feature of the project lies in its scope and merit: extensive readings of 19th century poetry, informed by carefully chosen critical approaches, are followed by a rich overview and analysis of visual renderings of the poems in question. Łuczyńska-Hołdys has succeeded in bringing to light previously unknown or undiscussed works, and reappraised many well-known paintings and illustrations.
