This thesis examines the links between Renaissance art and literature in shared imagery inherited from Classical times and mediated through Medieval culture. Shakespeare's use of Cupid imagery becomes the main focus of the second half the thesis.
The study was jointly supervised in 1970-71 by Professor T. J. B. Spencer of the Shakespeare Institute and Professor Hamish Miles of the Barber Institute, both at Birmingham University, England. The author had previously studied for his B. A. Honours in Combined Studies in Art and English at Leeds University from 1965-68, taught by Dr. Arnold Kettle, Professor Quentin Bell, Professor Lawrence Gowing, Dr. Arnold Noach and Stephen Chaplin, among other distinguished scholars.
