This handbook of aesthetics is concerned with the background of man's ideas about the fine arts, their function and purpose in society, the values ascribed to them, and the criteria by which they have been judged. It has been written specifically in non-philosophical language for both students and for the general reader with a lively and intelligent interest in the fine arts.
