This wonderful reference set on the humanities and the arts in history
is published by Thomson Gale, a reputable publisher in the reference book
publishing business.

Profiling milestones and movements in the arts, literature, music and
religion from a specific period, each volume in this set helps students
and researchers understand the various disciplines of the humanities in
relation to each other, as well as to history and culture. An overview of
the period and a chronology of major world events begin each volume. Nine
chapters follow covering the major branches of the humanities: architecture
and design, dance, fashion, literature, music, philosophy, religion,
theater and visual arts. Chapters begin with a chronology of major events
within the discipline followed by articles covering the movements, schools
of thought and masterworks that characterize the discipline during the era
and biographical profiles of pioneers, masters and other prominent figures
in the field. Chapters also include significant primary documents from the
period, including quotations, excerpts from artists about their work and/or
commentaries/criticism published during the period, and a list of general
references for further information.
