It is a perfect match of scholar and subject.' Ingrid Rowland, University of Notre Dame 'This volume is one of the single most important works in the field of Renaissance Studies to come along in some time. The book promises to be the locus classicus for all future studies of Chigi's villa, the art that adorns it, and the world in which it was made.' Paul Barolsky, University of Virginia Author InformationJames Grantham Turner is James D. Hart Professor in the Department of English at the University of California, Berkeley. A scholar of unusual range who brings together literature, art, the environment, cultural and intellectual history, and gender and sexuality, he is the author of eight books, including the Politics of Landscape and Eros Visible, the latter cited for its 'extraordinary vitality' and as a 'most important' contribution to Renaissance Studies.
