Gregg Lambert is Dean's Professor of the Humanities at Syracuse University, New York, USA.
'...in Return of the Baroque, Lambert recuperates associations
between the baroque, multiple modernities and an awareness of
representation as artifice.'
*Monika Kaup*
'...compelling and exciting material...finely sensitive...fodder
for conceptual, affective and perceptual thought...it remains to be
seen, and so as yet to be written, whether others will step over
Lambert's inspiring footsteps to deepen and to amplify his learned
and spirited wide-ranging analysesfor a truer understanding of the
movement, the genre, the cycle, the table and the dynamism of
modern and of postmodern baroque culture for a profounder grasp,
aboe all, of our contemporaneity.'
*Erik S. Roraback*
