The contributors attend to the complex ways in which images circulate in pictorial media and across the boundaries between "high art" and popular culture-images in paintings, prints, stone engravings, and posters, as well as in film and video art. In addition, the authors examine the role of ancient exemplary stories and textual narratives, as well as their reiteration in the visual arts in early-modern and modern social and political contexts.        Use the coupon code CUP30 and save 30%!  $45.00 $31.50 Cloth | 368 pages | 95 color illustrations | £30.95     Chinese Opera The Actor's Craft Siu Wang-Ngai with Peter Lovrick       Chinese opera embraces over 360 different styles of theatre.
