Reviews

"The editors' expertise...translates into a focus on 18th- and 19th-century cultural audio/visual studies, a familiar concept but handled here in a forward-thinking way, especially in terms of iconography. This book will be a useful comparative text in film studies, composition, and performance arts. Summing Up: Recommended." -- D.A. King, McNally Smith College of Music, CHOICE"The contributions are...impressively representative and diverse." -- Lydia Goehr, The British Journal of Aesthetics"This Companion ought to accompany philosophers of the arts on their journeys." -- Lydia Goehr, Columbia University, British Journal of Aesthetics"The Routledge Companion...seems like an invitation to a critical confrontation between the traditional approaches and the possible new theoretical visions, to building new problematizations and perspectives of the interpretation of music and the visual." --Sanela Nikolić, Journal of Art and Media Studies
