The authors bring their expertise to bear on the collaborative functions amongst the five senses and on the ways such mutual functions were conceived, represented, and experienced in the literary and pictorial arts.' Walter S. Melion, Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Art History, Emory University; Foreign Member, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences 'The volume succeeds rather well in presenting various interrelationships between vision and her sister senses as they are intended to affect the person viewing, listening, tasting, touching, or smelling. And it is a pleasure to read.' Renaissance Quarterly 'A strength of the collection is its attentiveness to the non-visual senses; the willingness to consider the varied and reciprocal roles that hearing, touch, smell, and taste play in early modern art is fresh and revealing.' Journal of the Northern Renaissance 'Sense and the Senses in Early Modern Art and Cultural Practice is an important contribution to sensory studies and the history of art. All of the essays adroitly capture the essence and quiddity of the arts discussed and beautifully convey how this sensate reading can have larger implications for repositioning the plastic arts as synesthetic.'
