Recenzje

'...extremely readable and accessible, and understanding of the family or of their literary and artistic circles would be greatly enhanced by thus doing...The editors are to be commended for their superb use of the resources available to them. The whole is immensely rich and varied, whether for the academic, the scholar, the student or the general reader.' - Lottie Alexander, Reference Reviews
