The Mirror Metaphor in Modern Spanish Literary Aesthetics

by Michael Schlig

About this book

Th author explains that his study is an inquiry into how theorists, critics, and artists--especially writers--have used the mirror as a metaphor. Following a theoretical discussion concerning material and figurative mirrors, Schlig (Spanish, Agnes College) examines this metaphor from various angles--art as mirror, mirrors in art, mirrors as art. He then traces the importance of mirrors through the major aesthetic movements of 18th- and 19th-century Spain, including Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism and Naturalism, and the Avant-Garde.
