Painting Words: Aesthetics and the Relationship between Image and
Text addresses the importance of dialogue between art and
literature, text and image in our image-saturated era. In a
globalized world, isolation and compartmentalization hinder us
back, whereas the Romantic idea of belonging urges us to look
beyond and to build bridges. Bearing this Romantic spirit in mind,
rather than focusing on a traditional paragonal approach, this book
puts forward the benefits of alliance by offering an
interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective. Illustrations
are included to guide the reader into comparativism and intermedial
encounters, while providing an inspiring overview of the literary
and visual department both in Europe and America from the
Renaissance to the twentieth century. The different essays lead us
through an aesthetic exploratory journey by the hand of Cervantes,
Shakespeare, Felicia Hemans, Emily Eden, William Wordsworth, Edgar
A. Poe, Flannery O'Connor, N. Scott Momaday, Jose Joaquin de Mora,
Wallace Stevens and Jose Angel Valente, among others. Editors,
Beatriz Gonzalez Moreno and Fernando Gonzalez Moreno have brought
together an international group of scholars around the idea of
"painting words," which they define as the pictorial ability of
language to stir the reader's imagination and the way illustrators
have "read" literary works over the course of centuries. Many
traditional comparative studies examine literature belonging to
specific time periods or movements, far less frequently do they
bridge visual culture with text-- Painting Words: Aesthetics and
the Relationship between Image and Text aims to do just that.
