This playful but challenging study is a testament to the wide-ranging intellect of the late Mary Sheriff (a professor of art at Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), whose scholarship was formative in the field of 18th-century art history. . . . In each chapter, Sheriff's characteristically dazzling play between texts and images and her virtuoso readings of single artworks reinforce her argument that islands condense the era's thinking about pleasure, politics, and gender. Sheriff's sophisticated but accessible study is indispensable for students and scholars of 18th-century art and culture. . . . Summing Up: Essential. --CHOICE
