{"product_id":"panaesthetics-daniel-albright-9780300186628","title":"Panaesthetics: On the Unity and Diversity of the Arts","description":"While comparative literature is a well-recognized field of study, the notion of comparative arts remains unfamiliar to many. In this fascinating book, Daniel Albright addresses the fundamental question of comparative arts: Are there many different arts, or is there one art which takes different forms? He considers various artistic media, especially literature, music, and painting, to discover which aspects of each medium are unique and which can be \"translated\" from one to another. Can a poem turn into a symphony, or a symphony into a painting? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Albright explores how different media interact, as in a drama, when speech, stage decor, and music are co-present, or in a musical composition that employs the collage method of the visual arts. Tracing arguments and questions about the relations among the arts from Aristotle's \u003ci\u003ePoetics\u003c\/i\u003e to the present day, he illuminates the understudied discipline of comparative arts and urges new attention to its riches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Albright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300186622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300186628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 6.00w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 pg. 241","brand":"Daniel Albright","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013722222847,"sku":"9780300186628","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1694a445-fefb-4be2-9069-fcf8b6ace085.jpg?v=1767744361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/panaesthetics-daniel-albright-9780300186628","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
