Michelangelo's extant correspondence is the most abundant of any
artist. Spanning 67 years, it comprises roughly 1,400 letters, of
which 500 were written by Michelangelo himself. Biographers and art
historians have combed the letters for insight into Michelangelo's
views on art, his contractual obligations, and his relationships.
Literary scholars have explored parallels between the letters and
Michelangelo's poetry. Nevertheless, this is the first book to
study the letters for their intrinsically literary qualities. In
this volume, Deborah Parker examines Michelangelo's use of language
as a means of understanding the creative process of this
extraordinary artist. His letters often revel in witticisms,
rhetorical flourishes, and linguistic ingenuity. Close study of his
mastery of words and modes of self-presentation shows Michelangelo
to be a consummate artist who deploys the resources of language to
considerable effect.
