The Bloomsbury Anthology of Aesthetics provides teachers and students with a new perspective on the history and present of aesthetic theory. It contains a comprehensive survey of the field of aesthetics, with selections drawn from ancient, medieval, renaissance, modern, and contemporary sources. It provides readers with a radically new perspective on the genesis and development of aesthetic theory by including an expanded section on early modern aesthetics. The Anthology likewise pays special attention to the interdisciplinary nature of aesthetics, reconstructing some of the dialogues in literary theory and art criticism that gave rise to philosophy's more systematic efforts. It introduces readers to contemporary debates by including a number of thinkers not yet anthologized. It contextualizes these positions by situating them in terms of the history to which they are responding. In short, The Bloomsbury Anthology of Aesthetics brings course materials up-to-date with the state of the discipline.

Reviews for The Bloomsbury Anthology of Aesthetics
…the anthology is valuable; it not only presents a captivating account of the history of aesthetics, but also, as promised by the editors, ‘redraws the picture of aesthetics’ so that a richer landscape emerges. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty; general readers.
E. Millin, DePaul University
CHOICE
This ambitious anthology on the aesthetics of Bloomsbury editions will preferably to PhD students of English who are seeking various writings on art, in a decidedly philosophical perspective, which means highly distinct from the art history or sociology of art.
