Continuing with the theme of his work Renaissance Perspectives in
Literature and the Visual Arts, Murray Roston applies to a later
period the same critical principle: that for each generation there
exists a central complex of inherited ideas and urgent contemporary
concerns to which each creative artist and writer responds in his
or her own way. Roston demonstrates that what emerges is not a
fixed or monolithic pattern for each generation but a dynamic
series of responses to shared challenges. The book relates leading
English writers and literary modes to contemporary developments in
architecture, painting, and sculpture. "A sumptuous book...Clearly
and gracefully written and cogently argued, Roston's admirable
achievement is of paramount significance to literary studies, to
cultural and art history, and to aesthetics...Outstanding."--Choice
