Description

Under the Influence : The Concept of Influence And the Study of Illuminated Manuscripts, Paperback by Lowden, John (EDT); Bovey, Alixe (EDT), ISBN 2503515045, ISBN-13 9782503515045, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The 16 articles of this collection were presented in earlier versions at a conference organized by the editors and held in July 2003 at the Courtauld Institute, U. of London, the UK. The articles discuss specific illuminated manuscripts or groups of manuscripts, focusing on questions of style and examining in particular the problematic notion of influence, a term seen as frequently vague, over-used, and contributing to a notion of the artist as a passive receptacle without creative resources. The result is a stimulating volume that will be of interest to historians of art, manuscripts, and early prints. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.

  1. As pictured / as described. Shipping - I ordered Dec 12 and glanced to see something like "Arrives ... 17th-21st", quickly thinking, "OK - plenty of time for Christmas". When it didn't show up, I went back to find it was actually "January 14th-17th" - oops! my goof! Wasn't expecting 5 week shipping. But ultimately, it did come in on Dec 26th, so quicker than the stated and might have been even quicker if not for holidays. Otherwise, good packing. Quick, easy transaction. Thanks!

  3. Book was new (as advertised) and priced fairly. I thought it could have been shipped by a more expeditious means for about the same money, but it was well packaged and arrived in good shape. The "slowness" in delivery was due to the delivery service the seller chose to use and was not due to a lack of timeliness on the seller's part. I would be glad to buy from this merchant again and I would recommend them to other eBay book shoppers.
