Zusatztext ...a major work, stunningly learned in art history, wonderfully subtle in literary analysis, and truly communal, drawing on a rich array of recent secondary work. Informationen zum Autor Professor Alastair Fowler is Emeritus Professor, University of Edinburgh. Klappentext Early narratives have tended to be critiqued as novels, an approach that misses their distinctive Renaissance realism. Alastair Fowler surveys picturing and perspective from the fifteenth century to the eighteenth, drawing analogies between literature and visual art. The book is based on the history of the narrative imagination after single-point perspective. The habit of an older, multi-point perspective long continued, accounting for "anachronism," discontinuous realism, "double time-schemes," and depiction of different moments as simultaneous. Zusammenfassung Alastair Fowler surveys picturing and perspective from the15th century to the 18th, drawing analogies between literature and visual art. The book is based on the history of the narrative imagination after single-point perspective.
