520 1 $a"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.
