What a book review attempts to be for a book, this extended essay attempts to be for several hundred years worth of books in a field: an indicator of problems with the old attempts and hopes for the new ones. It is a defense of art history for those outside the field who question its reliability or even its importance; it is a critique of art history for those in the field who may have been preoccupied with looking at trees but who might be interested in trying to see the forest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711429050656,"sku":"NEW0271033061","price":36.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/814LVkUbjtL.jpg?v=1779397462","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-shaping-of-art-history-meditations-on-a-discipline-0271033061","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
