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?
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 "Poetics" to the present day, he illuminates the
understudied discipline of comparative arts and urges new attention
to its riches.
