One story, through time and space, crisscrosses the globe to introduce a broad range of historical actors: kings and slaves, artists and writers, merchants and craftsmen, courtesans and commoners. The other story explores the connections between object, painting and photography, the full-length mirror providing a new perspective on historical artefacts and their images in art and visual culture. The Full-Length Mirror represents a new kind of global art history in which \u0026amp;#x27;global\u0026amp;#x27; is understood in terms of both geography and visual medium, a history encompassing Europe, Asia and North America, and spanning over two millennia from the fourth century BCE to the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u0026amp;#x27;As has been the case with the numerous other books Wu Hung has offered us, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Full-Length Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e is a significant work that aptly displays his original ideas, lucid writing and unparalleled erudition: no full-length mirror will ever be large enough to reflect the towering presence and shadow he has marked on art history and Sinology.\u0026amp;#x27;  J.
