The Passionate Spectator (1921)

By Jane Burr

Book Overview

The Passionate Spectator is a book written by Jane Burr and published in 1921. The book is a collection of essays that explore the role of the spectator in various forms of art, including literature, theater, music, and painting. Burr argues that the spectator is not a passive observer, but rather an active participant in the creation of art. She examines the emotions and reactions that art evokes in the spectator, and how these reactions can be used to understand and appreciate the work. The essays also explore the relationship between the artist and the spectator, and how this relationship can be both collaborative and antagonistic. The Passionate Spectator is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the role of the spectator in the creation and interpretation of art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
