E-Book Overview
This wonderful reference set on the humanities and the arts in history is published by Thomson Gale, a reputable publisher in the reference book publishing business. They have brought together several scholars in the fields of the humanities and the arts, each a specialist in their particular section of this set. Each volume is about a different historical era and could stand on its own. This reference set is a compilation of fascinating information on nine disciplines: architecture and design, dance, fashion, literature, music, philosophy, religion, theater, and visual arts throughout the history of Western civilization, particularly Europe. The five volumes of this set are divided according to the historical eras of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Rome, Medieval Europe, Renaissance Europe, and the Age of the Baroque and the Enlightenment.
