He uncovers the conflicts and complexity that often  distinguish artistic lateness, resulting in works that stood in direct contrast to  what was popular at the time and were forerunners of what was to come in each artist's  discipline–works of true genius. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEloquent and impassioned, brilliantly reasoned and  revelatory, \u003ci\u003eOn Late Style \u003c\/i\u003eis Edward Said's own great last work.","brand":"Edward W.
