- Description
- Examines the British illustrator and sculptor Elisabeth Frink's 1972 illustrated version (with nineteen etchings on copper plates) of Nevill Coghill's 1951 translation of CT. Analyzes several engravings and provides modernist visual interpretation of CT. Brings artistic fascination with "men, horses, and sex" to bear on what is, and is not, present thematically in CT; includes emphasis on female encounters with male power.
