Media Reviews
'Easily the best book of its kind: Sunday Times 'An excellent dictionary. What distinguishes this book from all similar works is the dispassionate assembly of its material. The present book displays wisdom and information, both in abundance.' Daily Telegraph 'This marvellous Companion is much more intuitive about the nature of art than the Oxford Companion to English Literature, for instance.' Sunday Telegraph
