What is Literature And The Plastic Arts, 1880-1930;: Seven Essays, about?

The relation between the linguistic and the plastic arts came to acquire particular importance for artists during the period covered by this volume. Yet most studies on the subject concentrate on biography and parallels in subject-matter. The problem for the artists themselves, however, was often not what the subject-matter would be, but whether there should or could be one, what the relation of subjective experience is to the objective world--whether to express or to transcend a mysterious and changing world. It is clear that the aesthetic questions raised by the volume as a whole, which may be summed up as the problem of 'metaphor' in and between the arts, cannot be fully grasped without some hypothesis of a common primary stimulus, not essentially verbal or pictorial
