Product Information
In this bold new study, Wendorf compares two arts--biography and portrait-painting--that have often been linked in a casual way but whose historical connections have remained unexplored. Reassessing the great age of English portraiture--from the arrival of Van Dyck to the publication of Boswell's Life of Johnson --Wendorf reveals that, despite their obvious differences, visual and verbal portraits often shared similar assumptions about the representation of historical character. Rooted in modern theory devoted to the comparison of literature and painting and to the problem of representation, the book examines each form of portraiture in terms of the other, bringing into discussion such writers as Izaak Walton, John Evelyn, John Aubrey, Roger North, Goldsmith, Johnson, Mrs. Piozzi, Boswell, and such artists as Van Dyck, Lely, Samuel Cooper, Jonathan Richardson, Hogarth, and Reynolds.

Reviews
'he has written a stimulating and erudite book, full of new ideas and interesting comparisons.' Nicholas Barker, The Burlington Magazine, 'the analogies he draws between verbal and visual "portraits" genuinely illuminate his subject, disclosing the "similar assumptions about the representation of historical character" shared by artists and biographers of the period ... Time and again in this excellent work Wendorf eitherintroduces us to new subjects or offers fresh insights into familiar ones. His chapter on Hogarth's "dilemma" ... is simply superb ... No less impressive are the chapters on Reynolds and Boswell. Not least among the pleasures of Wendorf's splendid survey of the interrelations between portraitureand life writing is that it opens such unexpected prospects.'Martin C. Battestin, University of Virginia, Modern Philology, 89:4, 'thoughtful and lucidly written ... the subject ... has rarely been analysed so thoroughly or so well.' David Mannings, Times Higher Education Supplement, "A sophisticated and scholarly study....Full of new insights, and the beauty of Wendorf's approach lies in his close readings of specific portraits and biographical writings."--Times Literary Supplement "Eloquent and instructive....There are books that animate whole libraries, revive old acquaintances, strengthen the sinews of friendship, and give the present all the resonance of the past: Such isThe Elements of Life.Throughout this illuminating discussion of the flowering of biography and portraiture in England, Wendorf teaches us to see the story in the portrait and the portrait in the story....Wendorf's scholarly prose has a conversational quickness and penetration to it."--Christian Science Monitor "A stimulating and erudite book, full of new ideas and interesting comparisons."--Burlington Magazine "Wendorf's prose is clear and obviously polished....His concept of 'iconicism,' which he defines as the structures of one medium literally or metaphorically incorporated into the other, will surely find its way into our technical vocabulary."--Studies in English Literature "Wendorf is at his best analyzing portraits, where his keen sense of what to look for repeatedly illuminates the visual clues that yield significant meaning...A convincing account."--Harvard Book Review, 'It is a rare pleasure to read a book of energetic and original criticism which breathes enjoyment and seeks to share it. ... he is never patronising, never intrudes, and yet the reader is left in no doubt as to what is being said, or the grounds for saying it. Again and again Wendorf'sreactions are direct, candid, first-hand.'Richard Ollard, The Independent., 'This is an impressive, handsome, hefty book filled with interesting and original observations. As his splendid book attests, he is equally at home in both the worlds of art history and literature ... Wendorf is comfortable and secure in the pull between the verbal and the visual, not swayedtoo long by either.'Timothy Dow Adams, West Virginia University, Autobiography Studies, sophisticated and scholarly ... the book is full of new insights, and the beauty of Wendorf's approach lies in his close readings of portraits and biographical writings., Sophisticated and scholarly ... the book is full of new insights, and the beauty of Wendorf's approach lies in his close readings of portraits and biographical writings., 'fascinating study ... it is in dwelling upon instances of human passion and the manipulative processes whereby historical individuals have sought to control their environment that Wendorf's work is most original ... The Elements of Life is a dense and highly provocative book, beautifullywritten by someone almost painfully immersed in the material on which he writes ... Richard Wendorf has made a head start and set a pace of scholarship and writing which others will do well to emulate.'Marcia Pointon, University of Sussex, Art History, Volume 14, Number 3, September 1991, 'Richard Wendorf's Elements of Life to a large extent fills the gap with an intelligent and thoroughly researched study of the portrait as it relates to (is embedded in) biography in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.'Ronald Paulson, Johns Hopkins University, Modern Language Review, Vol. 87, "A sophisticated and scholarly study....Full of new insights, and the beauty of Wendorf's approach lies in his close readings of specific portraits and biographical writings."-- Times Literary Supplement "Eloquent and instructive....There are books that animate whole libraries, revive old acquaintances, strengthen the sinews of friendship, and give the present all the resonance of the past: Such is The Elements of Life.
