Wettlaufer, Alexandra K. author. In the Mind's Eye : The Visual Impulse in Diderot, Baudelaire and Ruskin / Alexandra K. Wettlaufer. The Visual Impulse in Diderot, Baudelaire and Ruskin Leiden; Boston : BRILL, 2003. 1 online resource (310 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Faux Titre ; 236 Description based on print version record. This comparative, interdisciplinary study investigates the relationship between literature and the visual arts in France and Britain from 1750-1900. Through a close examination of the prose writings of Diderot, Baudelaire and Ruskin, read against the background of contemporary philosophy, aesthetics and theories of language, In the Mind's Eye proposes a new interpretation of the influence and rivalries underlying the development of art criticism as a genre during this period. The visual impulse - the desire to transcend the limitations of language and make the reader see - is located within the historical traditions of ekphrasis, enargeia and the paragone , while in each chapter, the individual author's theories of the mind, memory and imagination provide a critical framework for his stylistic experiments. In the Mind's Eye presents an in-depth analysis of the cultural, theoretical and aesthetic implications of artistic border crossings, and by contextualizing the movement toward visual/verbal hybridity in the fiction and criticism of Diderot, Baudelaire and Ruskin, brings new perspectives to nineteenth-century studies in art and literature. Includes bibliographical references and index.
