Artists have long sought to capture the intimacy and tranquillity of reading in their work. There was a time, however, when female literacy was a radical idea, and women have certainly not always been free to read whatever they want, whether for pleasure or instruction. This highly acclaimed book presents a compelling selection of paintings, drawings, prints and photographs of women reading through the ages. Works by a diverse range of artists, from Vermeer, Manet and Whistler to Edward Hopper and photographer Eve Arnold, are accompanied by commentaries that explain the context in which each image was created. Also featuring a foreword by the novelist Karen Joy Fowler and an engaging introduction exploring reading as a female pursuit, Women Who Read Are Dangerous will appeal to book lovers everywhere.
Stefan Bollmann is a writer and editor, and the author of several books, including Women Who Write (Merrell, 2007). Karen Joy Fowler is the author of several novels, including Sarah Canary, Sister Noon and the bestselling The Jane Austen Book Club.

评分他们有泪有笑,有情有恼,有苦有乐,凝集于个个字符。他们是善良的,善良是文字赋予生命力的根基;他们是谦卑的,一个人,孤独的坐在桌前,天天年年月月的奋笔疾书,甚至没有任何声音实在没可乐的;他们是邋遢的,夏天赤身裸体,冬天裹着被褥,直接免去衣物;他们是原始的,给...
评分1.文字以此为家 天赋异禀的女读者 圣母领报图 以天使向玛利亚报喜为主题的画作,于十四世纪时已经屡见不鲜。不过在西莫内·马尔蒂尼这位来自锡耶那的画家之前,没有任何人以此种方式呈现出这一幕。天使金碧辉煌的长袍和翅膀,予人一种刚刚飘然从天而降的感觉。他双...
评分当时在图书馆拿到真本书倚在书架旁一口气把它看完了,书中的画作可谓精美。读书的女人或坐或卧,可以在私密的床上,也可以在阳光明媚的花园中,也许你在低头沉思书中书中某一深奥的语句,或在追随主人公在一步一步走向神秘之地,或对女主人公表示深深的同情与敬佩,最快...
