Description
The Lighted Window: Evening Walks Remembered by Peter Davidson This thought-provoking book weaves together place-writing, memoir, and cultural study to explore the motif of the lighted window in literature and art. Davidson takes readers on atmospheric walks through nocturnal cities in Britain, Europe, and North America, as well as rural England's field paths. From early romantic painting to contemporary fiction, and from the Low Countries to Japan, this book surveys a wide range of material, examining how the lighted window has been depicted in English literature and the painted nocturnes of notable artists such as James Whistler and Samuel Palmer.
