Sylvan Barnet je americký literárny kritik a shakespearovský učenec, ktorý sa vo svojej práci zameriava na umenie písania. Jeho rozsiahle znalosti Shakespeara sa odrážajú v mnohých knihách a článkoch, ktoré napísal, a tiež v jeho úlohe hlavného redaktora edície Signet Classics Shakespeare. Okrem štúdia Shakespeara sa Barnet zaoberá aj japonským umením a svojimi esejami, ktoré napísal spoločne s Williamom Burtom, a skúma aspekty tohto umeleckého žánru. Jeho texty poskytujú hlboký vhľad do literárnych diel a umeleckých tém.

You'll analyze drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, and architecture, as the text guides you in writing a formal analysis, a research paper, a review of an exhibition, an essay, and more."--
