Review
"Hawes' sensitive reading of enthusiastic language and his obvious pleasure in its iconoclastic mania to loosen and unsettle, to fragment and recombine, deepens our understanding of early modern literary culture." Anne L. Cotterill, Albion
"...Mania and Literary Style buzzes with interest...This book should be read..." Nigel Smith, Modern Philology
"Clement Hawes's outstanding new book on the history of literary enthusiasm has arrived. Mania and Literary Style is a provocative and exciting account." Studies in Romanticism

Filling virtually every corner of his Brook Green apartment, John Russell Taylor's legendary library reflects the incredible breadth of interest that shaped his mind during his almost 30 years as art critic for the Times. Ranging from the fine and decorative arts to drama, cinema, music, poetry, literary studies, biography, bibliography, and London topography, his collection also contains several dozen of his own works, including the only authorised biography of Alfred Hitchcock. The first 5000 of his books on the visual arts - including rare, signed, and limited editions are now for sale.
