Title: Scholarship at its best
Review: Well-written and visually marvelous. Because of the book's scope, you get a real sense of this woman as imagined by generations of artists and writers, made particular by their composite fascination, which is in itself fascinating. Even the size of the book serves its subject, by being big enough to be beautiful, but small enough to read in bed, unlike all those pretentiously big art books. Loved it.
