Recenzje

'… a scrupulous and democratic account of its subject … consistently surprising, illuminating, and instructive … produc[es] a remarkable succession of affiliations that captures better than comparable introductions the … ideas and forms that characterize the period … a healthy reminder that literature and literary history can and should be fun … Caserio's … habit of broad reading within a given period … should produce only praise.' Matthew Levay, Modern Language Quarterly
