Kenneth Clark – Civilisation: A Personal View – The Folio Society, London, 1999
Edition note
First Folio Society printing of the companion book to the landmark 1969 BBC television series.
Introduction
Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation is one of the most influential cultural histories of the 20th century. Originally a television series, this personal survey of Western art and thought from the Dark Ages to the 20th century is presented here in a format that does justice to its subject. The Folio Society’s edition is generously illustrated and bound in a design that reflects the classical order Clark championed.
Content
The book covers the development of Western civilisation through its art, architecture, and philosophy. It moves from the survival of culture in the monasteries of Iona to the high achievements of the Renaissance, the Age of Enlightenment, and the industrial world.
This edition is lavishly illustrated with 186 full-colour plates and 94 monochrome images integrated into the text, featuring works by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and many others.
A preface by the author is included.
Condition
Fine condition.
