How did faulty or failing eyesight affect the style and technique of writers and artists. How did it affect the way they convey their visual impressions. In a classic study; first published in 1970 and thoroughly revised in 1988; Patrick Trevor-Roper combines his professional knowledge of ophthalmology with his extensive familiarity with art and literature to fascinatingly examine the work of painters; sculptors; poets and prose writers. Looking at the effects of myopia; cataracts; colour blindness; squints and total blindness he speculates on what the impact would have been on artists had they worn glasses. Illustrated with colour reproductions and a wealth of black and white photos; this was a true labour of love from a highly cultured man; erudite and stimulating.
