Description
This book explores the figure of the snail in Shakespeare and in Renaissance painting. From the emergence of the gastropod object/subject in the text of King Lear and its iconic interface in Giovanni Bellini's painting Allegory of Falsehood, this study follows the path traced by the snail throughout the Őuvre.
