S. Byatt praised as \"a late, late, late, late Renaissance man,\" addressed one of the most challenging and important questions about art and human understanding: Can there be major dimensions of a poem, a painting, a musical composition created in the absence of God? Or is God always a real presence in the arts? Drawing examples from across centuries and cultures, Steiner passionately argues that a transcendent reality grounds all genuine art and human communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44858636959797,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226772330","price":90.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0226772330_c4b00107-ed7d-4fda-b423-c5766a9b6cfe.jpg?v=1781385866","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/real-presences-9780226772332","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
