Richard Bradley is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Reading.
A reviewer of one of Bradley's earliest books commented that he
could only find one fault in it - that the author had the trick of
making what he wrote seem so easy and natural. It is a talent that
he has maintained, making any of his major works, including this,
immediately take its place as a leading contribution to the field
with which it engages.
*Time and Mind*
Bradley's book is stimulating and his arguments clearly exposed.
This journey through later prehistoric art which Bradley invites
fellow travellers to join may produce different, reactions, but it
is certainly a voyage worth undertaking.
*Madeleine Hummler, Antiquity*
Yet another fine book from Bradley... An excellent informative
read.
*George Nash, British Archaeology*
An attractive book which many of us would want in our libraries
*John Collis*
Richard Bradley ... begins his intriguing new book by challenging
the readiness of prehistoric archaeologists
*Alasdair Whittle*
Image and Audience certainly functions as an enjoyable and
rewarding read for the student of art and its place in
archaeology
*Archaeological Review from Cambridge*
a thought-provoking volume, one of many from the Bradley stable,
beautifully written and packed full of examples ... the book is
supported by excellent referencing and imagery and will be a
refreshing addition to the student and enthusiast's bookshelf.
*Antiquaries Journal*
