Lucid, elegantly written, and scholarly: a valuable monograph and an exceptionally thoughtful case study of the relation between literature and art.

From The New Yorker
The suggestion that the Primavera does not merely illustrate texts but is itself the material equivalent of a poem guides the study and deepens our understanding of ut pictura poesis in Quattrocento aesthetics. This book forms the necessary point of departure for all future readings of this most elusive and challenging of Florentine pictures.
