In this hugely accomplished work, which stands alonside his monumental bestseller 'The Discoverers', Daniel J. Boorstin produces a panoramic yet minutely detailed history of the arts. Even as he tells the stories of such individual creators as Homer, Joyce, Giotto, Picasso, Handel, Wagner, and Virginia Woolf, Boorstin assembles them into a grand mosaic that encompasses three thousand years of aesthetic and intellectual invention.
