Description
Hans Holbein's The Dance of Death is a masterful sequence of tiny woodcuts that pack drama, wit, and horror into each image. This edition reproduces a complete set from the British Museum, with many details highlighted, alongside examples of other works in this grisly field. The Dance of Death takes an old medieval theme and makes it new, taking full advantage of the literary culture of the early sixteenth century. Ulinka Rublack introduces the woodcuts with a remarkable essay on the late medieval Danse Macabre, providing insight into the world Holbein lived in. This Penguin Classics edition is part of a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines, featuring authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
