Editorial guides to the greatest creative achievements in human history. Each title connects the work to the world that produced it.
The idea behind the series
Every symphony, painting, and novel is a response to the world the artist inhabited. Bach composed under the patronage of Lutheran courts. Goya painted the horrors of Napoleonic occupation. Tolstoy wrote as the Russian Empire began to fracture.
The & Co. series connects creative masterworks to the historical moments that produced them. Not as academic study, but as a way of understanding both the art and the age more deeply. History is the context. The work is the evidence.
