Description

Language is the medium that we use to convey ideas, and the usual ingredients of other arts objects, noises, light effects - cannot replicate this function. Literature has the ability to inspire the mind and the heart towards practical ends far better than any work of conceptual art."--BOOK JACKET.

About the Author

John Carey is Emeritus Professor at the University of Oxford. His books include A Little History of Poetry, The Essential Paradise Lost, What Good Are the Arts?, studies of Donne and Dickens, and a prizewinning biography of William Golding.
