内容説明 The relation between the visual and the verbal spheres has been much contested in recent years， from laments about the ’logocentricism’ of the academy to the heralding of the ’pictorial turn’ of the multimedia age. This lavishly illustrated book recontextualises these debates through the historical lens of Greek and Roman antiquity. Dr Squire shows how modern Western concepts of ’words’ and ’pictures’ derive from a post-Reformation tradition of theology and aesthetics. Where modern critics assume a bipartite separation between images and texts， classical antiquity toyed with a more playful and engaged relation between the two. By using the ancient world to rethink our own ideologies of the visual and the verbal， this interdisciplinary book brings together classics and art history， as well as a sustained reflection on their historiography: the result is a new and explosive cultural history of Western visual thinking.
