Synopsis

"This modern classic is an ideal introduction to the literature on art and beauty from earliest times. All major aspects of the Western world's aesthetic theories and its philosophy of art are examined closely. Fully a third of the book is devoted to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Succinct and select bibliographies follow each chapter." -- back cover.
