Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retrieving the term 'baroque' from the margins of art history, scholars from a range of disciplines demonstrate that it is a productive means to engage with art history and theory. Rather than attempting to provide a survey of baroque as a chronological or geographical conception, the essays here attempt critical re-engagement with the term 'baroque'-its promise, its limits, and its overlooked potential-in relation to the visual arts.
