Summary: The Word and the Image
Comment: In lucid prose, Heffernan explores the literary trope of ekphrasis (representation of visual art in verbal art) and shows how notions of ekphrasis have changed from Homer's day to our own. This book is an absorbing investigation of the complex and often competitive relationship between visual and verbal art. An excellent and readable study of a fascinating topic, Musuem of Words is sure to be informative for both the scholar and the general reader.
