Book Description
"Professor Adams seems to have read the whole library and yet. . .retained his pith, vigor, suppleness, and good cheer. In addition, he knows how to tell a story. . . .One of the pleasure. . .lies in [the book's] rich texture of cross-references between history and literature. . . .Exhilarating." --Daniel Albright, New York Review of Books
