Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of literature and visual arts, Marianna Torgovnick argues that examining novels through an artistic lens enriches our understanding of major authors like James, Lawrence, and Woolf. She highlights how these novelists were influenced by contemporary artistic movements, suggesting that their works can be better appreciated by considering their visual inspirations and the broader cultural context in which they were created.
