Bøker av Jessica R. Feldman

This first book-length critical study of Saul Steinberg's art and its relation to literature, explores his complex literary roots, particularly his affinities with modernist aesthetics and iconography. The Steinberg who emerges is an artist of far greater depth than has been previously recognised.

Feldman sheds a pragmatist light on the relation between the Victorian age and Modernism by dislodging truistic notions of Modernism as an art of crisis, rupture and loss. Examining the works of John Ruskin, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and the best-selling domestic novelist Augusta Evans, Feldman relates them to selected twentieth-century creations.
