Famous quotes containing the word history:

““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”

“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
