Reviews

'This welcome reissue prints both texts and photographs in as generous a format as the originals, with illuminating introductory essays by Stephen Bann, David Carrier and Stephen Kite... This reprint offers a world of insight that most contemporary writing about art still keeps at a distance.' - Times Literary Supplement 'For Stokes, looking was all about human response- historically articulated to be sure, but passionate, partial, personal and not a little elitist. Standing in the tradition of Goethe, Stendhal, Ruskin and Pater, he is at heart a travel writer, a narrator of aesthetic voyages of discovery.' - Martin Kemp, The Royal Academy Magazine 'The foreword by Stephen Bann and the introduction essays by David Carrier and Stephen Kite are models of intelligent interpretation for anyone who cares to find out about one of the finest writers on art in the English language.' - Richard Humphreys, The Use of English '... the stimulating essays that introduce this volume... An added bonus of this new edition is that Stoke's connoisseurship in scores of Italian towns is illustrated by 'fresh impressions of the photographs used when the books were first published'.' - Richard Read, Modernism
