Reviews

There is much merit in this work: fixing its lens on De Nola, it presents a highly original picture of the period and cleverly plays with various aspects of cultural history, demonstrating in an exemplary manner the importance of portraying the Renaissance from hitherto little explored perspectives. Francesca Mattei, Universita degli Studi Roma Tre. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 72, No. 4 (Winter 2019), pp. 1430-1431.
