{"product_id":"blindness-moshe-barasch-9780415927437","title":"Blindness: The History of a Mental Image in Western Thought","description":"This is a remarkable study of how Western culture has represented blindness, especially in that most visual of arts, painting. Moshe Barasch draws upon not only the span of art history from antiquity to the eighteenth century but also the classical and biblical traditions that underpin so much of artistic representation: Blind Homer, the healing of the blind, blind musicians, blindness as punishment, blindness as a special mark. The book discusses blindness in antiquity, in the Early Christian world, in the Middle Ages, and in the Renaissance, with a final consideration of Diderot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moshe Barasch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415927439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415927437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 138","brand":"Moshe Barasch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896419868927,"sku":"9780415927437","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fdbe0cc2-735a-47f5-857b-35b50d53ffd4.jpg?v=1721371353","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blindness-moshe-barasch-9780415927437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
