Art and Literature are bound together in several ways.

Art and Literature are bound together in several ways. Great works of art have inspired great works of literature, great works of literature have inspired art, and together art and literature have simultaneously represented similar movements. Art and literature can be seen weaving around each other, influencing one and another, and being used as a tool to teach students about liberal arts and humanity.  Although the works I have selected range from several genres and five centuries, they are related because they refer to great works of literature.  All of these works have been used in my literature classrooms as tools to understand specific works or movements.
