Description: "Reading Relationally proposes that reading literature in the context of visual art enriches the understanding of how texts function and what they mean. By reading literature through the lens of visual art, the book draws attention to some of the conventional methods of analysis that have governed the mind and eye.

Through a series of demonstrations involving major modernist and postmodernist authors and artists, the book sheds new light on well-known texts by enabling readers to think and see differently." "This book will interest general readers, students and specialists in postmodernism and literary criticism, and those interested in the relationships between literature and visual art."--BOOK JACKET.
