Part of the Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts series from Rowman & Littlefield, this second edition (see ARBA 2011, entry 862) on baroque art and architecture includes eighty-five new entries. It is intended as a reference tool for college professors, art history students, and those interested in baroque art. Each entry focuses on a topic, place, work, or artist, and provides a succinct description which includes bolded cross-references to other entries. The chronology of this period, provided at the front of the volume, goes from 1580 to 1718. The impressive bibliography is divided into twelve sections, providing resources by country (Italy, France, Flanders, Holland, Spain and Portugal, England, Germany, and other countries) as well as topic (treatises, artist biographies, emblem books, academies, art training, artistic identity, and art patronage and collecting). This book would be an excellent addition to any college and university reference shelf.--Bradford Lee Eden-- American Reference Books Annual
