BLACKWELL ANTHOLOGIES IN ART HISTORY
The Blackwell Anthologies in Art History series presents an unprecedented set
of canonical and critical works in art history. Each volume in the series pairs
previously published, classic essays with contemporary historiographical scholar-
ship to offer a fresh perspective on a given period, style, or genre in art history.
Modeling itself on the upper-division undergraduate art history curriculum in
the English-speaking world and paying careful attention to the most benefi cial
way to teach art history in today’s classroom setting, each volume offers ample
pedagogical material created by expert volume editors – from substantive intro-
ductory essays and section overviews to illustrations and bibliographies. Taken
together, the
Blackwell Anthologies in Art History will be a complete reference
devoted to the best that has been taught and written on a given subject or theme
in art history.
