Feeding the Eye Essays

"To be fair, book reviewing is as ephemeral an art as any Hollander describes. If some of its contents lack the sustained regard of a book-length essay, FEEDING THE EYE remains full of tantalizing glimpses. But Hollander's skills as an essayist find full flower, appropriately, in THE CULTURE OF FLOWERS, a review of a book by that name. Here the reader can luxuriate in her descriptions of the advanced horticultural practices that flourished in antiquity and their implications for literary and religious symbolism."Hollander, Anne is the author of 'Feeding the Eye Essays' with ISBN 9780520226593 and ISBN 0520226593.
