Title: The frame of art
Description: "These insightful readings of Charlotte Lennox, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Gotthold Lessing, Lord Kames, Henry Mackenzie, David Hume, Jane Austen, and the theorists of the picturesque trace the dramatization of aesthetic experience and the desire to design one's life as if it were a work of art - a painting, a play, or a novel. David Marshall asks what it means for these authors to view the world through the frame of art."--BOOK JACKET.
