Product Description
This chronologically organized introduction to the Western humanities (art, music, history, literature, and drama) establishes the historical context of each era before the arts are discussed. More than 600 illustrations appear throughout the text, "Personal Perspectives" boxes bring to life the events of the day, and brief sections at the end of each chapter describe the cultural legacy of the era discussed. "The Western Humanities" is also available in two volumes: "Volume I" covers prehistory through the Renaissance; "Volume II" spans the period from the Renaissance through the present.

 Review of THE WESTERN HUMANITIES April 25, 2000
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
This book is an excellent resource for college students interested in humanities. This was the text used for my Humanities class. It was very easy to read and I was able digest the material covered without falling asleep. The photos are excellent and the captions are detailed. This is an excellent book well worth the asking price.

I initially used this textbook for a high school humanities class. This book is absolutely wonderful, and I feel completely knowledgeable about the history of western civilization now. There are plenty of illustrations to give examples of the works of various artists, as well as sections that summarize the cumulative effect of an age on the entire history of art. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, high school or college, seeking to gain a better understanding of the western humanities.
Art's review April 15, 2010
Arthur Connelly (Florida, USA)
The book (a text for a humanities class I'm taking) is well written and covers the realm of Western humanities with just enough detail to maintain its status as a survey text.

The book I purchased was lost in the mail but when I contacted the seller they responded quickly and did what they could do on their part. The postal service lost the book by no fault of the seller and I never received the book. However, the seller did the honorable thing and refunded me back the money for the book, which they didn't have to and I would recommend them to anyone. I would definitely buy again. Thanks!!!!
