THE ART PERIOD

The Rise and Decline of a much Respected and Privileged Position

This is the (provisional) title and subtitle of the book I am presently writing. I expect that the manuscript will be ready in 2015 and published 2015/6.

Click on the links below to view or download a provisional Table of Contents and first drafts of some chapters.

I put these drafts on the internet hoping for your comments. So please send me comments!!: hansabbing@gmail.com

These drafts are altogether unpolished and sometimes incomplete. They are bound to change very much —hopefully also thanks to your comments. At present putting much energy in polishing and editing would be a waste of time. But when I get close to the final versions (which will be corrected by a native speaker), I will certainly do much editing and polishing.
