A handsome volume of pure scholarship that will find a permanent place in ones library to be dipped into from time to time as a source of deep enjoyment.\"-Virginia Quarterly Review \"For educated readers who want to know what Michelangelos poetry manages to do who want a guide through the Italian and even more through the conventions that enabled Michelangelo to write at all this is an indispensable book.\"-Richard Howard \"The exceptionally difficult task of translating Michelangelos poetry has been accomplished with aplomb: equally successful is the no less difficult task of placing the poems within their biographical social intellectual and artistic context.
