From the rear cover
"In this inspired book, Leonard Barkan traces the origins and transformations of the word-image conundrum in art and literature from Plato to Shakespeare, providing a deeply learned and often brilliant meditation on a central theme of contemporary aesthetics and cultural history. This is vintage Barkan--a seductive book, written with eloquence and insight, and giving much pleasure and intellectual profit."--Marvin Trachtenberg, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University
"Vibrant, insightful, and elegantly written, this book reflects a lifetime of thought by a master of his subject."--Jaś Elsner, University of Oxford and University of Chicago
"A dazzling display of erudition spiced with humor and rhetorical wizardry, this book will interest anyone who cares about pictures or words--and what else is there?"--Michael Ann Holly, Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
