Spenser and Literary Pictorialism

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of film language and literary analysis, John Bender utilizes Gombrich's insights on perception to examine pictorial effects in literature. By analyzing Spenser, whom he refers to as "the painter of poets," Bender proposes a theory that distinguishes between descriptive and pictorial elements in poetry, offering a fresh perspective on how visual techniques can enhance literary expression.
