Reviews

Gabriele's book is an articulate, erudite, and readable contribution to Romantic-era scholarship at the intersection of literary and visual studies in at least two obvious ways: he persuasively demonstrates the long history of the visual in Western Culture, undermining the myth of Romantic rupture ... through careful reading. (William S. Davis, European Romantic Review, Vol. 30 (1), 2019)
