Winslow Homer And the Sea

This book is the first to focus on the full range of Homer's coastal subjects, with thirty-six reproductions of his most powerful works. Carl Little's essay discusses Homer's development as a painter; quotations from writers such as Homer scholar Philip C. Beam and poet Gerard Manley Hopkins add a further dimension to the thorough and enlightening text.
