Description

Text and Image in Modern European Culture is a collection of essays that are transnational and interdisciplinary in scope. Employing a range of innovative comparative approaches to reassess and undermine traditional boundaries between art forms and national cultures, the contributors shed new light on the relations between literature and the visual arts in Europe after 1850. Following tenets of comparative cultural studies, work presented in this volume explores international creative dialogues between writers and visual artists, ekphrasis in literature, literature and design (fashion, architecture), hybrid texts (visual poetry, surrealist pocket museums, poetic photo-texts), and text and image relations under the impact of modern technologies (avant-garde experiments, digital poetry). The discussion encompasses pivotal fin de siècle, modernist, and postmodernist works and movements in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, and Spain. A selected bibliography of work published in the field is also included. The volume will appeal to scholars of comparative literature, art history, and visual studies, and it includes contributions appropriate for supplementary reading in senior undergraduate and graduate seminars.

Acknowledgments
The editors of this volume would like to extend their warmest gratitude to all contributors for their unfailing enthusiasm and dedication, and to Jane Everson for her expert translation of D’Annunzio’s “Psiche giacente.” Special thanks are due to Robert Lethbridge for contributing his inspirational introduction, as well as for his invaluable support, encouragement, and critical appraisal. David Damrosch, Michael Eskin, and Jérôme Game have all provided perceptive insights and informal discussion that have been most enriching to this project. In a collective volume of this kind there will always be those whose help and support remain unacknowledged, but to whom, nevertheless, we are indebted.
We extend our warmest thanks to all the people, museums, and institutions that have generously allowed us to reproduce visual material in the book: first of all, Fred Ross and Kara Ross of the Art Renewal Center, < http://www.artrenewal.org >; the photographic agency of the Réunion des musées nationaux in Paris, in particular Anne-Catherine Biedermann and Raphaëlle Cartier; the British Library, the British Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, especially Jackie Brown, Chris Sutherns, and Miranda McLaughlan; and the Wenzel-Hablik-Museum, Itzehoe, represented by Katrin Maibaum. Many thanks also to those publishers who have granted permission to use revised versions of earlier research in the volume.
For the publication of Text and Image in Modern European Culture we thank Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek, editor of the Purdue University Press monograph series of Comparative Cultural Studies , who welcomed the volume in the series. We are also grateful to the anonymous reviewers of the manuscript for their comments and suggestions.

Introduction to Text and Image in Modern European Culture
Robert Lethbridge
The configurations of the volume Text and Image in Modern European Culture —edited by Natasha Grigorian, Thomas Baldwin, and Margaret Rigaud-Drayton—are consistent with the aims and scope of the Purdue University Press series of Books in Comparative Cultural Studies in which it appears. That is, its self-evidently comparative perspectives are inseparable from interdisciplinarity in a wider sense. Each of its articles on text and image in modern European culture operates on the cusp of two or more disciplines, including the study of literature and the visual and applied arts, as well as media and comparative cultural studies more broadly. Throughout the book, comparative analysis is grounded in recent theory but also crosses boundaries, both geographical and generic. At the same time, the contextual approach of comparative cultural studies (see Tötösy de Zepetnek) is solidly anchored in empirical research, offering documentary certainties which assure comparative commentary its intellectual credibility. Accordingly, the structure of the volume is dictated by different
