Practices
Helen Pierce's books (***) will reference more recent scholarship, as well as scholarship from art historians, which I'll include in this list.
For each book I plan to write a brief response divided between understanding and overstanding. Understanding will describe the book's question and answer, its methods and assumptions, and understanding will include quotes that are essential for my later use. Overstanding will describe my assessment of the book, how it relates to other books, and how it relates to my project.
In the next two weeks I hope to read 10 of the above books, and 5 books off of my second-string list, below:
