The Virtues and Vices in the Arts

Arts & Literature

“Shawn Tucker has done a great service bringing together a variety of texts and images from the rich tradition surrounding the vices and virtues, texts as different as Plato's Republic and Hildegard of Bingen's Ordo Virtutum, and images as varied as Brueghel's engravings of lust and anger and Paul Cadmus's paintings of envy and pride. This anthology will be a welcome resource for students of history, philosophy, literature, and art.”
