Reviews

In this highly original volume, Francomano traces the transformation of Diego de San Pedro's Carcel de amor (The Prison of Love) from a small-format, unillustrated book printed in Seville in 1492 to luxury French manuscripts and tapestries, considering other versions and translations along the way...Francomano's theoretically engaged analysis of visual, material, and book culture will appeal to specialists in 16th- and 17th-century studies and beyond. -- P. W. Manning * Choice Connect October 2018 vol. 56 # 2 *
