Recenzii
beautifully written and illustrated ... This is a splendid book from which anyone trained in medieval or early modern literature, art history, religious studies, theology, or philosophy, could certainly profit ... Simpson's brilliant and provocative book actually becomes an insight into a profound "absence" in Anglo- American modern culture.
what makes this book worth reading is its focus on ... the "exhaustion" of the ceaseless struggle to escape the image since the Protestant Reformation. ... What is compelling about all of this is that even though one might take issue, as a specialist, with certain of Simpson's readings of history or historical texts and objects, it reminds us to be vigilant against our own scholarly idols and our tendency to view the iconoclastic impulse as Other.
