Taking the period from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC to 30 BC, Zanker asks how audiences read imagery, to what extent they were supposed to fill in the gaps of knowledge about subject matter and significance, and whether poetic descriptions of how contemporaries read works of art should dictate our reconstruction of modes of viewing. In studying artistic and poetic strategies, he concludes that artists trained the eyes of the poets' and opened them to unprecedented possibilities and effects in viewing and imaging'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Frost\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299230746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/12\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLinda Frost is associate professor of English and director of the Honors Program at Eastern Kentucky University.
