Recenzii

"The learned book, which impresses by the use of original and sometimes hard-to-read texts and also by the use of recent scholarship, deserves a place on the shelf next to the books of Panofsky and the Wittkowers."
Winfried Schleiner, Renaissance Quarterly.

"Noel Brann's magisterial volume offers a sweeping survey of the critical fortunes of a contentious but powerfully operative concept in quattrocento and cinquecento Italy: the notion of genial melancholy."
Piers Britton, CAA Reviews, 2004
