“The exercises in this exhilarating volume focus on observation skills; theme, variation, and repetition in the novel; period music, and art. Its 11 chapters reveal the social production of art in action by showing the interpenetration of all the arts — painting, music, film, journalism, theater, and novels — to produce social change. It is a sure-fire hit with students.”THE COLLEGE BOARD
