About This Item
Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2010, 2010. Paperback. Near Fine. Royal octavo, softcover, near fine in white pictorial wraps. Clean and unmarked. Integrating a vast array of findings in the social and biological sciences and in the history of the arts, Boyd makes a compelling case for art as an adaptive human behavior. I can think of no similar work in contemporary literary theory; I have to go back to Northrop Frye's Anatomy of Criticism for a work of comparable imaginative sweep and analytical precision. 540 pp. including index.
