Text and Image in Modern European Culture - Comparative Cultural Studies

Employing a range of innovative comparative approaches to reassess and undermine traditional boundaries between art forms and national cultures, the contributors to this title shed new light on the relations between literature and the visual arts in Europe after 1850. Following tenets of comparative cultural studies, it explores international creative dialogues between writers and visual artists, ekphrasis in literature, literature and design, hybrid texts, and text and image relations under the impact of modern technologies.
