The Power of Art

A formidable work of synthesis … Each of [Campbell’s] case studies, however, is taut in its telling and rich in detail … lovers of historical facts will be in clover … In the author’s persuasive telling, the world as we know it is not the creation of great men and their battles, but of an infinite number of artists and craftsmen – Michael Prodger * Country Life *
