BETWEEN THE ANCIENTS AND THE MODERNS: BAROQUE CULTURE IN RESTORATION ENGLAND

by Joseph M. Levine

Published by Yale University Press. 1st. 1999

Fine condition in a fine dustwrapper. The quarrel between the ancients and the moderns was an old dispute when it was resumed with special ferocity in the later seventeenth century as writers and artists, their friend and patrons, debated how far to risk the freedom to innovate. Black boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations.

A very nice copy.
