English & the Arts: A Contemporary Romance
Language, Style, Genres

Area 10 – Scienze dell'antichità, filologico-letterarie e storico-artistiche

The book was born of the need for an academic publication for “English for the arts” courses at the International University of Language and Media (IULM) in Milan. The goal was to create a useful, practical tool enriched with theoretical considerations. The “romance” between English and art is recent, but has taken hold relentlessly. English is not only the language of business and economics: it is the world’s language, and therefore also the language of art. Those who study the arts must know English. More to the point, they must be familiar with the the sub–language of English for the arts. This relationship appears destined to last.
