Sections are devoted to technique and theory, Seurat's engagement with social issues, irony regarding the paintings' content, aesthetic effects, and the relation of his work to literary symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The book as a whole is eclectic and adventurous. There is a collective determination not to become mired in stale controversy. . . . Colour theory is not ignored, but there is far more here than Seurat’s palette and Chevreul’s colour disc. There is poetry and politics, ethics and edges, the family and the father, sensation, disenchantment, timelessness, irony and absence. It is by turns thrilling and demanding.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Alex Danchev \u003ci\u003eThe Times Higher Education Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique and Theory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.\tHors-d’œuvre: Edges, Boundaries, and Marginality, with Particular Reference to Seurat’s Drawings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthea Callen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2.\tSeurat and Color Theory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorges Roque\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSociety and the Subject\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3.\tThe Family and the Father: The \u003ci\u003eGrande Jatte \u003c\/i\u003eand Its Absences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eS.
