Mnemosyne, Supplements, Signs of Orality: The Oral Tradition and Its Influence in the Greek and Roman World
Waited to purchase this until it became a bargain, and I'm glad I did.
The actual analyses that constitute the bulk of the book were, to my mind, simultaneously thin and tendentious. Given what was presented in the introductory chapters, on the nature and role of emotion in the arts, one expects more and specifically more on the visual nature of emotional experience.
Not as impressive a performance as suggested by the title...
