Art History: Contemporary Perspectives on Method examines some of the most significant approaches to the discipline of art history which have appeared in the scholarship of all periods over the last 30 years. The fascinating result is a cross section of art history in all its complexity, as well as a timely survey of its historiography. The newly commissioned essays, all by leading, international scholars, examine discrete methods of writing about art history, ranging from the work of individual theorists and specific schools of thought tothe broader problematics of historical interpretation and interdisciplinarity. Each essay considers the impact and influence of these approaches on the formulation of histories of art, placing the discussions alongside the intellectual consequences. Of particular interest in this examination is what is lost orleft out through these methods of historical enquiry, and where the points ofcontact and convergence with other methodologies lie.Dana Arnold is Professor of Architectural History at the University of Southampton, UK.
