scrupulous care for detail, its just plain good story telling, and
its theoretical sophistication make it an obvious candidate for the
status of standard work." Maureen Quilligan

"In this forceful and perceptive study... Jones has fused gyno-
and gender criticism superbly and produced one of the most
important works on the European renaissance lyric in this decade."
