Since 1968, the Visual and Environmental Studies (VES) department has provided students with the opportunity to study the academic and practical aspects of the visual arts. Professor of the Practice of Studio Arts in Visual and Environmental Studies Ellen Phelan, though recently deposed as chair, left the VES department with the legacy of a strong creative program; we hope that the new chair, Kenan Professor of English Marjorie Garber, will be able to continue Phelan’s vision...

Heuet has translated all the rote action and, more important, all the visual aspects of the book into pictures. In some cases this comes in handy, as when Giotto's "Virtues and Vices" are invoked, or a bunch of asparagi are referred to with extreme detail. This version of "Remembrance," has been distilled down to its essence, concentrating its themes and aesthetic ambitions. And yet, one of those themes, the ability of art, and particularly literature, to evoke all things...
