Moving deftly among literary and visual arts, as well as the
modern critical canon, Christopher Prendergast's book explores the
meaning and value of representation as both a philosophical
challenge (What does it mean to create an image that "stands for"
something absent?) and a political issue (Who has the right to
represent whom?).
"The Triangle of Representation" raises a range of theoretical,
historical, and aesthetic questions, and offers subtle readings of
such cultural critics as Raymond Williams, Paul de Man, Edward
Said, Walter Benjamin, and H?l?ne Cixous, in addition to
penetrating investigations of visual artists like Gros, Ingres, and
Matisse and significant insights into Proust and the onus of
translating him. Above all, Prendergast's work is a striking
display of how a firm grounding in theory is essential for the
exploration of art and literature.
