The authors break new ground in methodology and interpretative practice as they tease out the web of connections between these various historical artifacts and argue for the central place of the arts in the transmission of ideas and the political manipulation of the populace. The book translates the provocatively new visual language revealed in these artworks and writings and shows how its emphasis on metaphor, allegory, and symbolism transformed French mass visual culture. An innovative and lushly illustrated study, \u003ci\u003eVisualizing the Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e is a worthy new contribution to scholarship on the French Revolution and the history of French art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hubertus Kohle,Rolf Reichardt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1861893124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781861893123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/14\/2008 pg. 20","brand":"Hubertus Kohle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065864368383,"sku":"9781861893123","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81333bce-dd80-4c6d-b89a-a15b0740d017.jpg?v=1768677754","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visualizing-the-revolution-hubertus-kohle-9781861893123","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
