Reviews

Gil is an exquisite reader of poetry, with an eye for the weird, the overlooked, or typically elided perspectives. His willingness to take seriously odd moments, his ability to hear and to contemplate strangeness, and his eagerness to engage a poem or play's own presentational strategies, metapragmatic gestures, and lexical and formal choices all make Fate of the Flesh an impressive account of Renaissance literature and culture. --David Glimp, University of Colorado, Boulder
