Förlagets beskrivning
This text is part of a six-volume work which offers an overview of art,
music, literature, history and philosophy. Book 4 explores faith, reason and
power in the early modern world. It looks at the Catholic reformation, the
scientific revolution, absolute power and 18th-century art, music and society.
The text focuses on the Western tradition, but also includes strong coverage of
other cultures, setting the arts of the West in the larger arena of world
cultures including India, the East, Africa and Native America. Throughout the
chronological narrative there is a focus on universal themes, integrating ideas
and issues that relate to the human condition. The coverage of literature, art,
music and architecture is integrated into discussions of cultural and political
influences, aiming to create a logical presentation of broad subject
matter. The books of this third edition give increased attention to cross-cultural
themes such as Japanese theatre, the transatlantic slave trade and Islamic
literature. Science and technology boxes have also been added, which appear
throughout the chapters and list key developments that have directly or
indirectly affected the history of culture. Locator maps help readers to link
specific cultural events with the geographic region in which they occurred.
Updated coverage of the 20th century has brought new images from contemporary
artists and new sections include the chaos theory, social conscience film and
cyberart. Western readings include work by Alice Walker and Malcolm X. Book 4 of this six-book volume looks at faith, reason and power in the
early modern world. It explores the scientific revolution, Catholic reformation
and absolute power. Focusing on Western traditions, it also offers
cross-cultural themes in the arts, philosophy, culture and politics.
