Synopsis
Harry Berger, Jr., is one of the most influential Renaissance critics of our time. These selections of his essays, spanning thirty years of a prodigious output, gather some of his most seminal work in permanent form, and show his development from new-critical idealism to historicism, from formalism to cultural poetics. Underlying the whole, however, is an ongoing project to synthesize problems of literature, art, and philosophy; to develop a model of mind and imagination, and a theory of cultural change.

Review
"Harry Berger, Jr.'s essays are among the most deeply considered in the Renaissance field. Their range is remarkable: from theory to close reading, microcosm and mind to More and Vermeer, poetry and prose to theatre, philosophy and visual art."--Alastair Fowler, "London Review of Books
