"The Concept of Authorship" - Ede & Lunsford [Accompanying Illustration Suggestions]

1. "Inspiration of St. Matthew" - Caravaggio

I chose this image to accompany page 80, where it mentions God or a muse, as inspiration for writers.  As this is an older picture itself, I believe it portrays the idea to the reader that this concept of "inspiration from God" is not unique to just the Middle Ages.

2. Pen + Paper

This picture should be used on page 82, midway down.  The passage mentions the personal privilege the writer of a book had, compared to a printer.  I chose this image because of the writing.  We can tell that the writing style itself has been a labor to produce a "pretty" manuscript.  This shows the hardships, and therefore personal connection the writer has with his/her work.

3. Lone Tree

This image should be on page 85.  The 

text mentions the unique connection between the writer and the text, as well as the eventual necessity to become solitary and isolated.  This simple image of a tree in the desert does a good job representing this.  The tree, the author, is a solitary figure in a vast surrounding.  The author is simultaneously so alone, yet so exposed.
