Summary:
"Although the Byzantine style was never widely popular, it was
nevertheless important and influential. The legacy of Byzantium was
interpreted in many different ways and used to promote different
aims. Professor Bullen's original and pioneering interdisciplinary
study presents the first coherent account of the varied
manifestations of Byzantinism in Germany, Austria, France, Britain
and America. The book is richly illustrated not only with original
Byzantine models and the works they inspired, but also with
reproductions from the finely illustrated publications that played an
important role in their own right in promoting Byzantium as an ideal.
Covering politics, religion and literature as well as the arts, this
is an exemplary study in cultural history, providing real insight
into the interplay of ideas and forms."--BOOK JACKET.
