This is a richly informative book . . . probably as excellent a book as can be written to give substance and illustration to the theme that the arts have a significant history only in the sense of a history of styles, and that an analysis and description of styles . . . will reveal that painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, and music have features and qualities common to one of these prevailing styles and reveal these usually within the same time periods. … It is a beautifully wrought intellectualized history, bespeaking a love of the arts.
