Sweetman (former Reader in History of Art at Southampton U.) seeks to answer the question about why so many artists choose to portray bridges. He traces the history of the bridge in painting and printmaking through a vast range of work, both well known and less familiar, revealing distinctive characteristics about the complex role of the bridge as both symbol and metaphor, and as a place of vantage, meeting, and separation. Contains 104 color and b&w illustrations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
